    No seriously. Bill Gates made the company what it is today. I'm afraid to think about MS with Ballmer in charge. He'll probably change the GUI to be really bright and flashy and instead of subtle beeps when a device is plugged in, it will sound like a screaming banshee.

      Ballmer is a lunatic, I've seen some of the videos of him at conferences.
      "Developers developers developers developers" I believe he has been known to chant.
      Whatever issues people may have with Microsoft and their products you cannot deny Gates' drive and ambition, and also his success.

          Good Time line on gates

          .. and for any of the people who don't like Bill Gates, I'll just point you to: http://www.gatesfoundation.org and the main reason he's stepping down so he can focus more on donating his money. Extremely generous guy.

            I don't like people that do that either. However, Bill Gates I'd think would be the last person that flashes his money. I don't ever recall seeing him on MTV Cribs. ;) Although come to think of it I would really like to see a show that walks through his house (none of this virtual stuff).

            He may not be a better person necessarily, but he is definitely more successful. People have an intrinsic need to belittle successful people because they make them feel inadequate.


            I'll admit it's good fun making quips about Bill, but there is no denying he's successful.


            And I really don't like the way EVERYTHING microsoft does wrong is bill gates fault- I have a strange feeling he doesn't go over every single last dialog resource in every single microsoft application to make sure that the Mnemomic captions are consistent. A few other people work at Microsoft too.

                I think they did this once, mite have been some internet thing.  Said that there is a survey.  Then the house he lives in bases the music to you.

                    Hard to think he would play that, If he would give some to the middle class then some of us would be better off.
