Isn't it ironic that this stupid troll conveniently omits some of Bill's ridiculously childish neuroses? According to a documentary I saw on the History Channel, Bill dropped out of Harvard because he got upset that there was one person in his year with better grades than him (and apparently before goin out on dates with girls he wanted to know what their IQ was. Hmmmm). But then again what do you expect from a spoilt brat. I reckon it would have been the icing on the cake if that "one person" was Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs.

Although I'll say this about Bill - he's probably made one of the best investment returns in history. He paid what, $50,000 to buy QDOS from its original author???

Anyway I think I've given more than my 0.02

EDIT: I correct myself. Bill payed 50 grand to someone to steal Gary Kildall's hard-sweated work (CP/M), and would later steal more of Gary's ideas (from DR-DOS) for later versions of MS-DOS. After seeing what M$ became, it's no wonder Gary died at the age of 52.

All about The Penguin:
The Penguin represents open source and freedom. No spyware, no keyloggers, nothing like that.

Enough Said, the Penguin owns Bill Gates  (http://smile.gif)
