Seattle PI | at | by Mike
A protester calling for free computer software and open source programming crashed a speech Friday by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates at one of China's top universities.
Gates, who is very popular on Chinese campuses, had just finished a speech at Beijing University and was handing out prizes to students when a man walked on stage and unveiled a banner with "free software, open source" written on it.
Gates and most of the group appeared shocked at the intrusion, which ended when the man ran off the stage and was tackled by security officials.
