She stays by her husband’s side for REAL. Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft chairman and co-founder Bill Gates, told the NY Times this past weekend that no Apple product “..crosses the threshold of our doorstep.”

The exchange, via the New York Times, was as follows:

Do you own an iPod, which is made by Apple?
No, I have a Zune.

What if one of your children says, “Mom, I have to have an iPod?”
I have gotten that argument — “You may have a Zune.”

Do you have an iPad?
Of course not.

Is it true that Bill works on an Apple laptop?
False. Nothing crosses the threshold of our doorstep.

Isn’t there room in this world for both Apple and Microsoft?
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh. Go talk to Bill.
