Everyone seems to hate Billy Gates, but give me one good reason why.

Nice Spongs, Snuggly.
He's a self-made man, and owns the largest company in the world. He looks like a geek, how can you hate him?
I can't be bothered to hate Bill Gates.
Bad things I hate about Billy...
He's a conceted, Over Zealous Twerp bent on World Domination?...
He stole the idea of a windows based operating system from his best friend Steve Jobs (Creater of the Macintosh and MacOS)... Now stealing or ripping off your best friend is bad!!
He tried to take over the internet... Something none of us want.
Bexuase of trying to take over the net, he makes my job difficult... NetScape was cool, Ie was fine untill they started trying to change things!!
The XBOX... For a man who owns a company who makes nothing but software, why did he agree to change their whole business model and make a console?
HE DESIGNED WINDOWS... That was evil enough, but then he designed WINDOWS 98!! that was unforgivable... And then.... WINDOWS XP!! Arghhhhh!!! Does the man have no mercy!
He let someone else design and build Hotmail, and then just bought them out... THough he was recently sued for 6 million under the data protections act for breaching personal security in Hotmail!!
Good things about Billy...
Ummm....
Hang on....
A ha!....

you just contradicted yourself there er-no you are say ing you hate Bill Gates because his PRODUCT failed, but it is noy Bill Gates fault, it is the Operating system known as windows. Bill Gates didn't just decide to make it crash at that time so you da would los all his work did he?? if he did then you would have a proper reason to hate him, but at the moment you have not shown me a proper piece of solid evidence for hating Bill Gates. If anything the only thing you have reason for hating is Windows, which i doubt Bill Gates thinks up himself anymore, all his associates and workers do.
And you can't say you hate Bill Gates because he stole the idea off of some other company. Everyday people steal something, it just isn't publicised like that was. Take this for example, if i went to a game shop tomorrow and stole a game, and after i completed it brought it back to the shop to get money back on it, but then i was found out so the newspapers publicised it for some unknown reason, would you hate me.
If you did it would be stupid, because it is not affecting you in anyway is it??
Anyway, what if Bill Gates never stole the windows idea of of the company, do you think that it would be much different?? Do you think it wouldn't crash like windows?? i expect it would seeing as though he stole everything off of this company, he made it near identicle, he just called it something different. Would you hat that companies owner because it kept crashing?? maybe, maybe not, but still it isn't his fault it is the Operating system.
So if you are going to hate something hate Windows, and leave Bill Gates out of it.

Yes what he did was

Yes it is, his so-called companies operating system, lost my dad his invoices and information for his business, no you cannot blame the program, because the operating system failed.
Also, many times have I lost my drives and all information because of his companies CRAPULENCE.
Its that simple, I KNOW WHAT I HATE.

Mantis, with those few words I have nearly lost all respect I had for you. Which incase you were wondering was actually very high.
