Ok, the point of this is to say something bad about bill gates, as long as you dont break the rules of SR by swearing or any very bad stuff. I'll start.
IF I SEE BILL GATES IM GONNA STICK ME BOOT IN HIS RECTUM BEFORE SLASHING HIS NECK.

Microsoft bought the windows operating system when Xerox turned it down. That's how Bill Gates 'stole' windows. He just bought it for a ludicrously small amount of money because the company it was initially developed for didn't see any potential.

This thread is living proof that success is nothing to do with popularity.

Gates will only become the dominant force in the console world, if his/their popularity makes big increases.

i have nothing against Bill Gates
You know what ps2_proud? I actually had respect for you. And I still will if you promise not to post another stupid topic like this in future.
On the ACTUAL point of this thread, do I detect a hint of jealousy? Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, and we probably wouldn't have so much technology today if it wasn't for him and Microsoft. My PC runs on his software, which I am very happy about. I don't hate Bill Gates, I look up to him.

Oh dear - what a stooopid topic.
At least there have been some sensible replies.
Computing would not be where it is today without Microsoft and wether you agree or disagree with some of their business practices you cannot dispute that they have been darn succesful.
Bill Gates heads up the most succesful business of recent times and good luck to him.

don't be so naive. In 10 years time, the latest consoles will come with Windows 2012 as standard. By pushing into one market which can quite easilly be linked with one he already monopolises, he's secured the future of Microsoft by ensuring that they have their fingers in several pies.
Wake up and realise that Bill Gates is as succesful as he is because he is a remarkably astute business man.

don't be so naive. In 10 years time, the latest consoles will come with Windows 2012 as standard. By pushing into one market which can quite easilly be linked with one he already monopolises, he's secured the future of Microsoft by ensuring that they have their fingers in several pies.
Wake up and realise that Bill Gates is as succesful as he is because he is a remarkably astute business man.
XBox is the biggest test yet for MS. With Windows, eventually everyone has to upgrade to the latest version in order to run the latest software. Almost all new PC's also ship with Windows - it's easy money! But with console's, everyone (well not quite everyone) has been with Sony for so long, it's difficult to change. Plus, if you upgrade there are 3 machines to choose from. You are not locked into Microsoft. And Sony has the image & popularity right now. Sony is the market leader, and MS need to try and get a foot in the door. A very different situation compared with Windows.

As opposed to Sony and Nintendo who hate the idea of making a profit from console gaming?
