His world domination plans coming into effect, just before we have the ability to form our own opinions cruelly stripped away from us - what do you think of the man? I mean, I can respect all that he has done and how he has made his vast fortune... His vast, vast, VAST fortune all by himself, but when he moves in for the kill on the computer and videogames market as a whole I feel my anger levels rising. Now fair enough, people have their many reservations about Sony and their world domination plans, but they won't succeed - we all know that deep down. The problem we face is that Microsoft DO have the ability to force a single format, not without a fight from the other big thre... two i mean... but the possibility is there. Sony are a bigger company than Microsoft, but Sony Computer Entertainment are smaller and money isn't going to be thrown away into fighting a battle with Microsoft. This, in my grim opinion, will lead to SCE's demise - Nintendo's will probably happen faster unfortunately. For everyones sake, I hope I'm very, very wrong. Just my two cents, feel free to have a go at me if you wish!

I cant type my true feelings towards bill gates here, as the forum doesn;t allow swearing, lets just say I would give away everything I have in this world to punch hiim!!!!
I hate him.
I hate him.
*Bill Gates reads the post*
"40 BILLION! I wish I had that much..."
*Looks to the stars*
And has anyone else noticed the use of the word *Bill* in *Billion*? Is it because no-one had ever bothered to count as high as what Bill made before?
"Meh ha!" Bill twiddles his thumbs. "All that reach this number, will have the pleasure of having MY NAME attached to them! Meh ha!"

ERRR.... Bill gates is worth hundred of millions. By the time he dies ALL that will go to charity. The exception is the money for his house and living (that won't come to over a couple of billion!) and 3 million for his children (yes! less than 1% of his fortune). Soooo... oout of the 400 billion (or whatever) 399 and a bit billion is going to charity. That is a hell of a lot.

Please remember that if it wasn't for Bill we wouldn't be here right now.
It was him that made all this possible, first with windows and then with Internet Explorer.
So lets all say a big thankyou to the mighty one and remember, The Overlord, see's, hears...
...EVERYTHING!!!
... ahem...

He does give quite a lot of money to charity actually. I don't remember how much exactly, but I'm sure you could find out if you did a little research..

I think it was funny that a hacker stole the codes for Windows off a microsoft computer! :) lol
Well done to that hacker! I hope he sells the codes to companies worldwide!

Ive used Ataris, Amigas, Machintoshs and Acorn OSs and theyre all more stable than Microsofts Pile of Rubbish!
True most of these systems are now dead or sleeping with the devil (Microsoft).
Seriously Though, How many Times has your PC crashed or refused to start up over the last few months with your Windows OS....
about 15 times for me, why the OS is just poor!
Microsoft are now admittedly getting their act together, but this probably has alot to do with Linux becomming a viable rival(Thats why Microsoft brought a 24% stake in Corel...who made the Corel Linux OS).
The main problem the Linux community has is that their are too many versions, SUSE, Red hat etc... Which makes things more difficult for people.
However Im looking forward to the day when The Linux community gets its act together and becomes a serious rival to Windows! Imagine what that would mean...it would knock at least £100 off most PCs you brought! Which to me is true progress!

Just a quick question....how many of you have used any OS other than Windows?
And out of those that have, how many have used them on their home computers rather than those in school/college?
Windows may be unreliable, but it has an awful lot more features and versatility than other OS's I've used. (which include Red Hat Linux and Solaris version whatever.
Windows NT is even starting to take over some of the previously Unix only areas of computing (networking)...

You have to respect Gates for a number of things like creating the BASIC programming language, and his marketing Genius (Anyone who can sell the Worst OS in the world has to have a gift).
However we can still dispise him for trying to destroy all that is good and original in the industry, Apple, Netscape, Corel... the companys Microsoft has turned to the dark side is just disgusting! I just dont like Microsoft using its Monopolistic powers to destroy smaller(more innovative) players in the industry.
And I agree trying to take the Console Industry is a step to far!
