"When the topic of their children comes up, Mrs. Gates admits that world richest parents have banned iPods from their home, giving this irresistible quote: "There are very few things that are on the banned list in our household. But iPods and iPhones are two things we don’t get for our kids." When pressed on the topic Mrs. Gates admits that she’s been tempted by the iPhone, saying: "Every now and then I look at my friends and say ‘Ooh, I wouldn’t mind having that iPhone’."

I guess I wouldn't want a competitor's massive success rubbed in my face either.  This shouldn't be too surprising, though.  Remember the iPod Amnesty Bin that was stationed inside Zune HQ?

This is hardly surprising. I imagine that the children of Coke's management team do not drink Pepsi products, either.

I would say that's probably accurate. I'm just a fanboy so this is obviously more amusing!

Agreed. Do you think Steve Jobs has any Windows products in his house?

Well, he has Windows Mobile products in use in his Apple Stores, and I think that they sell a lot of Office licenses there as well.

(Though, no, I really doubt that he's rocking to a Zune or even playing games on an xbox.)
