Bill Gates still won't let his children use Apple products

Bill Gates is a rich man. If he wanted, he could buy his three children
as many iPads and Macs as they wanted. But he won't, because the
Microsoft co-founder has banned his progeny from using Apple products.
Melinda Gates, Bill's wife, reaffirmed the family's longstanding
commitment to not allowing Apple devices in their household in an
interview on U.K. radio station Radio 4 this morning, according to
a report by The Telegraph, saying her son and two daughters sometimes
ask for Apple products, but they won't get them. Instead, the Gates
children get Microsoft-made products, such as a Windows Phone 8 device
instead of an iPhone or a Zune instead of an iPod.
"The wealth from our family came from Microsoft so why would we invest
in a competitor?" she told the radio outlet.
Melinda Gates first revealed that Apple products aren't allowed in
the Gates household in a 2010 interview with The New York Times. In that
interview, she said "Nothing [Apple] crosses the threshold of our doorstep
."
While Bill Gates may merely want to support the company he led for
decades, there's also the obvious media impact he's looking to avoid.
Late last year, for instance, one of his daughters was photographed
holding a device that vaguely resembled an iPhone, prompting a quick
media response criticizing Gates.

除了自己以身作則都用Windows手機之外，也規定自己的小孩只能用Windows手機。
全家人都不能用蘋果產品，包括iPod,iPad等，
