Rumours are circulating that Bill Gates is considering moving his software company into Red China if the heat in the US kitchen rises much more. It would remove, at a stroke, any difficulties he has in the US, according to Register reader Jens Boss. He claims that Gates has his emergency exit already in place and that the Chinese government would grant him an amnesty in exchange for setting up his HQ there. It's not an April Fool joke, Boss insists. It's going to happen. ®
