Actually it will be Bill Gates KBE, only people from the British Commonwealth are called Sir when they are knighted.

Knighthood lost its meaning after Mick Jagger was tagged for the honor.

....or just Knight of the British Empire

I've never seen the most excellent order part....

Mick Jagger, elton john, sean connery...she really should be ashamed of herself. Paris Hilton will probably get it next. How offensive to be giving knighthood to all of these freaking celebrities. At least bill gates has received it for something more meaningful than than a song or a movie
