Is it because he's wealthy beyond belief?

I actually think he's one of the most successful people in American history.

Leave him alone! He didn't do anything to you!

He's an easy target - same with everything and everyone who's at the top of their respective segments. A similar situation would be how people blame the President for their every problem.

No, Windows isn't getting any better. The Mac is getting stronger by the moment. :D

I have no problem with the President's choices. Those choices are not mine to make, therefore why should I even care.

I just think that Bush is an idiot, both as a person in general and as a politician. :p

Unless you're artsy, nothing comes even close to Windows 2000.

Because they wish they'd thought of it first.

Seriously, why hate Gates? He's donated more money to charities than probably anyone in history.

He's a straight up good dude, self-made billionaire, and he's a philanthropist of the highest order.
He's the epitome of entrepenuerism.

Anyone here could consider themselves lucky to be as talented, rich, or intelligent as the skid marks in his skivvies, myself included.

Exactly. In fact I would say I admire him.

You shouldn't admire him, you should admire his wife for getting him to donate the money. Before she got him to donate money, he wasn't donating a penny, keeping it all for himself.

I would assume that to play protected HD content on a Mac you will also need a HDMI connection, and hence possibly a new monitor (unless Mac monitors support HDMI connections anyway).
Either way, it's not really Gates' fault.

I hate Gates because he's got 800 kajillion dollars and still can't afford a decent suit or a good haircut.

You contradicted yourself. Unless most people have more than "800 kajillion dollars". He can afford a decent suit and a good haircut, he just doesn't want one, mb?

Why do you brag about how much money your parents have or how wealthy your town is when you're a mall security guard/gas station attendant? :confused:

Some things just aren't meant to be understood.
