Say what you will about Bill Gates...

yeah. especially where microsoft uses its monopoly power to stifle copmpetition as found by the US federal court and EU...

cuz in capitalism anything is fair. microsoft should have bribed the politicians RIAA style...


but if it weren't for outlook/express, uncle norton and cousin mcafee would be out of jobs!

The liberal Linux kiddies are the only ones that really hate Bill Gates. It just irks me how people act as though *HE* programmed Windows.

And, uh, is that a hack article or somthing? Doesn't look Washington Post quality. Looks like somthing a High School kid would write.

"The Gateses"
"Okay, so they were ex-prostitutes. Or, to use the politically correct new term, ex-commercial sex workers."
etc.

i agree the article also seems slightly violent toward the women in the beginning. i should shoot this over to my friends at the ms. message-boards and see what they make of it

but really, that writer is terrible. its like trying to be news and human interest and pertinant. and it just comes out vomitous.

Well not one individual has the ability to type in all the code on such a beast anymore....without Gates it's doubtful that revolution would have been as prominent (IBM for sure wouldn't have been as aggressive and Apple was still not getting it right)....

It's not the worker bee that makes things happen, while although he is very good at being told what to do, someone needs to give the command and organize the collective effort.

Although Gates looks and acts a little like a nerd (well maybe a lot), I guarantee he kicks some a$$ when he needs to, as well as before his marriage chased some tail.
