This would be awesome to see since I am a fan of Da Vinci:
LONDON, England (AP) -- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates showed off a virtual version of his own collection of Leonardo Da Vinci's scientific musings on Tuesday at the British Library as he unveiled the company's eagerly anticipated Windows Vista operating system.
Gates bought the Leicester Codex in 1994 for $31 million. It is joined on the British Library's Web site by the Arundel Codex, one of the more prominent pieces of the British Library's collection.
This was the first time the two have been displayed together -- albeit virtually -- since they were separated 500 years ago.
I'll have to venture over there and see if I can access it...
