[Dont Mention the War]

From Slashdot:

Actually, if you look at the EXIF tags inside the JPG files, you will see the following comment:

Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA

And, here is the original image in Corbis [corbis.com].

So, as always, Slashdot is wrong. It is from 1985, not 1983. But, amazingly enough, it actually is Bill Gates, and it is real.
