They hate him for working to earn his fortune, being smarter than they are, donating $700 million to charity recently, spurning onwards the software that is so dear to gamers, and quickly jumping to support new technologies we'll all end up using or wishing we had. Boo! Hiss! What a horrible man!

I belive that Gates stopped making Windows a while ago... I belive that he's just on the Microsoft board now. So.... He just helps run the company. And yet some people still hate him...
w00t?

I can't understand why people dislike Bill Gates so much. Did you ever think about what would be without him? You would probably still be using unix or something similar.
And if you don't like Microsoft products go switch to something like Linux or whatever and shut the fuck up.

If Gates hadn't been around to steal Mac's original OS, we wouldn't have to put up with Windows right now and every computer would be much better.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

I think he deserves it. He must have some real business skills to become the world's richest man. Plus he already donates millions upon millions to charities. He is a very generous person. In fact, his kids are only going to get 0.02% of his wealth when he dies. Thats about $10 million.
There was talk of revamping the knighthood system last summer. He isn't a British citizen though, so he's not going to be caled "Sir Bill Gates."

And if Mac wasn't around to steal Xerox's and then claim Gates stole their design (hypocrites), ...
We'd be playing pong while waiting for our copies to finish in the break room, instead of looking at Renforums.com. There would be no Radeons.

He also made the most insecure operating system ever. Also the most un stable, Win 95 and 98 will either freeze, or give you the blue screen of death every 1/2 hour it seems like. They also release a new security update every month or two it seems like because they don't take the time to review their code well. There's also a problem with IE and Spyware/Malware/Adware/Viruses being able to get through easily, activeX is also another bad thing in IE(most of the time that is), and lets not forget the broken jpeg exploit allowing people to download viruses onto your computer through a broken .jpeg on a site (a couple of my friends did that to an annoying kid at our school).
Don't get me wrong, Windows is great for Playing games, but just about everything else you will want to use Linux, or a Mac for. I prefer Linux over the two. Besides Wine is always cool, it doesn't work sometimes, but ohh well I can use Photoshop in Linux  . And I like coding for my game in Linux, I don't ahve to worry about viruses F*cking the os and me losing all my data, or losing my work due to a crash. Linux doesn't like ATI graphics cards, but my bro Got Savage installed perfectly under SUSE 9.1 (it comes with the option to install onto Linux on the CD), it worked because he has an Nvidia graphics card, I sorta wish I did. Linux is excellent for webservers, very secure and easy to manage, extremely stable, not hard to install and configure stuff either, I use Linux for my server, only times it's down is for a restart real quick (1 min at most) after I install some new stuff, or a power outage at my house (normally about 10 seconds). Well, this is the end of my post, just what I think or Windows, Macs, and Linux.

You code a full operating system to the extent that windows has and iron out all the bugs in one run :rolleyes:
The only thing that I dont like about microsoft and this one really pisses me off. There support. Its something like $24/question of $60/year USD. When you pay $150 for a new OS you can't even get support. Thats what pisses me off.

Windows 95 has well over 1 million lines of code. Imagine XP.

So the amendment process of the constitution automatically makes the constitution suck right? The fact that every law wasn't created at the foundation of our country means the US blows. Am I correct to assume this mr Spreegem HATER OF PROGRESS.
Obviously you can't provide for every contingency, you can't find every bug. How could Windows XP have been made to protect against things that didn't exist when it was created!
I didn't use to have problems with 95 or 98 EVERY HALF HOUR like you say. They happen in spurts. Something would go wonky and you'd get bsod after bsod for like a day till you fixed whatever YOU screwed up. Then it would run fine for a month until a spurt of random restarts which you probably caused again.
Active X WHOMPS!!!! IT ONLY POWERS MOST OF THE COOL STUFF ON THE NET!!! IT SHOULD BE DESTROYED!!!!
Great argument there...
So in short whatever is main stream sucks. I've got it. Throw some half assed complaints in and get every authority hating, has to be different, whiner loser behind you and you've got a movement. Maybe some day you can defeat that mean old oppressor Microsoft... Just make sure not to run into any of that pesky natural sunlight in the process...
Things COULD get messy...
