Why does everyone pick on Bill Gates, he has done heaps for the modern world, he founded Microsoft and gave people one of the best operating systems ever to be used freely. His company has created some great games like Midtown Madness, and if it weren't for him, we wouldn't all have the easy PC gaming systems we have today.
So why does everyone appear to pick on him?

Why do people pick on Bill Gates? because of windows. How many times have you played a game only to be confronted with a 'This program has peformed an illegal operation' messege half way through. You then have to exit losing all progress you have just completed.
A few months ago this happened to me, but on a wider scale. My whole system locked up and I couldn't get onto windows. The only thing on the monitor was the facewall, no icons, no toolbar, nothing. The only way to fix this was to restart the whole computer, meaning a full reinstall of all software.
The reinstall worked but at the cost of all my sved games and work which had to be started again from scratch. Needless to say I was damn peed off that a years worth of work had to be destroyed just to get back to normal windows.
Thats given me enough reason to pick on BG and his bug ridden software.

Windows XP is appauling, and why does he have to try and pick on the consoles by creating x-box. I mean come on, you can only make so much money before is becomes a meaningless quest for power and dominance.

Thats probably what put me off buying an X-Box. Aside from the price, the oversize of the console and controller and lack of games. I wonder if anyones x-box has crashed yet.
I locked up on me when I was playing it in HMV. Seriously.
It did!!
Christ I don't know how bill expects to break the console market with faulty software. Although I suppose thats the trademark of Microsoft ;)

Ok now I've not posted anything on here for a while but I've just found this statement and I'm going to have to comment on it.
PLEASE TELL ME AT WHAT POINT IS AN MS OPERATING SYSTEM FREE?
Yeah I have to shout that, because you obviously know diddly squat about free software. Microsoft Operating Systems are not free (you're obviously all using pirated copies and that includes upto XP).
I'm sure if you go and say that statement to Uncle Bill he'll choke on his coffee, they're software has never been free and never will, that's why so many people hate Microsoft and Bill Gates.
If you want a truly free operating system the go and download Linux and stop bleating on about how he gets picked on all the time! The sooner he releases the code to his O/S's the better.
In future check your statements properly before you make them!
