Yikes  :eek:

He's sticking out his middle finger on the second picture, a subtile move to tell the photographer he wants to bone.

It's not 1983.  It's 1985, when Windows 1.0 came out.  Corbis (founded by Gates) owns the pictures.

And that's a Mac above Billy's right shoulder in the first pic.  :D

I hope he wasn't trying to look alluring in the first pic. He looks stoned, then again he is a university dropout...  ;)

Holy crap, I just about pissed myself when I saw those...  :D

Seriously, you ever get the feeling that the whole Bill Gates / Linus Torvalds thing boils down to Evil Twin / Good Twin, both of whom are completely nuts?
 :D

however those linus torvalds photos are nearly as bad, i'm afraid!
