    Bill Gates has made a good company there in the business sense. Good on the fella. We only hate him and MS because they have more money than the british goverment !

    I would love to have Gates money!!!

    Microsoft is a classic example of how a man percieved to be a code-crunching nerdy geek has actually shown to have the type of business savvy and acumen other companies can only dream of. He kind of puts all you code-crunching nerdy geeks on this board to shame in terms of earning power.

    Working in Systems Infrastructure, I neither hate nor love Microsoft, I just accept it exists, same for Novell. Both have their srengths and weaknesses

    I love them for their desktop cleanup wizard and ... clippy *sniff* I miss clippy.

    But seriously I love them for rendering my touchpad ( amongst other hardware) completely useless after running windows update.

    I bought Gate's book (Business @ the speed of thought) - haven't read it yet though.
