So why does everyone appear to pick on him?

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.
Christ I don't know how bill expects to break the console market with faulty software. Although I suppose thats the trademark of Microsoft ;)
> And those constant bloody direct X upgrades. There a pain in the a**e.
It's funny because it's true!
>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.
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!
