I'd say "rich" is an understatement.
Mega super dooper uber mega loaded isn't even anywhere near.

I agree.
People who are hate the guy are just jealous, but also that his company has such a huge grip on the industry. As a result of this, whenever something like a virus exploits a vulnerability on a Windows system, or they are accused of not allowing users the choice of software to use, he and Microsoft is heavily criticised for it.
Personally though, I think he's a top guy, and done a lot for the industry. It's a shame most of his software isn't that efficient.

Damn you Cyclone and your getting-in-the-way, er, ways.
Yep.
Yep.
True.
I mean, I honestly don't know why people dislike him so much.
Sure, there's this malarky that he shunned the person who helped him with the whole thing. And the fact that I can't remember his name shows that.
But he has contributed massively to the industry, and he donates billions of dollars to charities.
Ah well.

I read somewhere he wants to give all his money away before he dies.
Still, most countries haven't given as much to good causes as Gates has...last year America donated about 30 million to Africa to fight AIDS. Gates has given way more than that in the past as this is not the first time he has given money away in massive amounts.
