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?

(Note: This isn't meant as an offence, particularly to people who think well of him, so please don't hate me!!!)

Indeed. Some very short people in the forums - a lot of stuff goes over their heads!

It's my mission in life to track him down. Must be a hefty reward.

Nah, Microsoft keyboards are amazing. And the joysticks. Otherwise pretty much dot on though.

1. He is the richest man on earth.

2. He is an evil money grabbing ruthless bussinessman

3. He only got where he is today because his crap DOS system was working before IBM's other development was. And it was ready to co-incide with the launch of the first PC

4. He is a dropout - he didn't graduate from high school

5. He tries to portray a relaxed image when (see point 2)

6. He is probably the only man in the world that could bring the world to its knees economically, by crashing every windows based machine.

7. He blatently is trying to take over the world, next thing we will know our bedside table will have computers int hem to display the book we are reading!!!!

8. I don't like him.

9. His products are shabby at best.

10. He has 37.5 billion dollars to his name.

11. Rather than develop something, he tries to buy out someone who does it already (Ninty)

12. He is the root of all evil.

13. He can fix everything with money (see news story here)

You think Gates has it bad? What about Posters?

I was in London at the weekend, and almost every shop window and advertising hoarding had a notice on it, stating that "Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted".

Poor sod - I'd like to know what the hell he did.

Ah I think you misunderstood me, how about just running the computer in DOS, forget about Windows completely for the moment.

The great thing about DOS is when you accidently hit the windows key, the game your playing doesn't minimise and screw up.
