I just can't understand the hatred people show towards Bill Gates. I've been using Linux for a very long time (still have my Slack 3.0 CD somewhere around here) and love the operating system. However, I've never hopped on the anti-Microsoft bandwagon because it's unjustified. Windows is wonderful for the typical computer user. Until average joe doesnt-know-a-thing-about-computers can operate a Linux distribution without intervention from experienced Linux users, I'm going to be happy to recommend Windows to the non-savvy. And as for Bill Gates, the man might be making boatloads of money, but he has does an excellent job in establishing the Gates Foundation charity. The Gates Foundation gave out $1.36 billion in 2005 alone. I'm sure you're just having fun with your image, but I have to say I honestly think it a tad childish.

I second that, Scary. It's never right to make a mockery of someone. Put yourself in his shoes.
> It's never right to make a mockery of someone Why?

Don't forget that MS:- Has exploited the Internet because of it's browser's "special attitude" towards standards
- Is advocating software patents, DRM and TC
- Is forcing their closed proprietary "standards" like WMA/WMV
- Is using unfair methods against Linux and the open source community (sponsoring SCO is an excellent example)
Cool, keep it up. One note - the biggest advocate of software patents, DRM and other cr*p is Steve Ballmer AKA monkeyboy. Could you dra him too?
Dude, the cloven-hooved, brimstone stinkin' red guy IS Steve Ballmer, you see? http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n127/ipodisgay/0b3dca53.jpg :-)
