Lol.
As Bill Gates puts it "Saudi Arabia [is] an example of why [he] believes limiting the rights women can hinder economic growth"
"Education is bad in the middle east" so there's an opening, hmmm same in many parts of the western world yet the real silicon valley has yet to crack this one.
Most of his examples are copies of western ideas localised.
To me there real point here is there's a opening in localising software, once silicon valley cracks this idea it'll really take off.
I'm also not sure he ever even mentions 'Saudi Arabia'
