LOL..this guy is paranoid....he has over 40 BILLION dollars and
when he sells people $200 software, we have to prove we own it
everytime we do a reinstall.
do you realize what 40 BILLION dollars is ??? the man could spend
$80,000.00 a day and it would take him over 150 years to go broke.
and he's worried about whether I had payed for my windows XP disc.
and just cos he has money, doesn;t mean he's smart..he hires people to create software, and he didn;t create windows on his own...
George Soros is a complete idiot and he's one of the richest people in the world.
Maybe we should send this fellow to the White House. My hat is off to him, he is so smart. No wonder he is rich.

Should be posted in all schools and work places.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Well, Bill Gates didn't write this....it was sent to me in an e-mail and I should have checked it out before posting this....sorry!

I would give him my vote for sure, hes like the exact opposite of Bush.
But I still hate the way windows crashes and is dominated by planned obsolescence forced through updates that are designed to eventually crash computers so you have to upgrade to the new windows platform - other than that hes cool.
You can be cool too with .......
Has your Xbox 360 ever failed unexpectedly? If it has, you're in good company -- in February, warranty company SquareTrade pegged the console's failure rate at a shocking 16%. But a stunning new expose claims that Microsoft knew over two-thirds of the consoles produced by its contracted factories in the run-up to the Xbox 360's November 2005 launch date were faulty, and opted to push the machine out to consumers in spite of its problems.
The report, published this week in VentureBeat and written by technology journalist Dean Takahashi -- author of the critically acclaimed The Xbox 360 Uncloaked -- blames numerous factors for the now-infamous "Red Ring of Death" failures, including a rushed design process, the machine's groundbreaking complexity, and cost-cutting initiatives that hamstrung quality assurance tests.
As one anonymous source told Takahashi, "There were so many problems, you didn't know what was wrong. The [test engineers] didn't have enough time to get up and running."
Even though Microsoft eventually extended the Xbox 360's warranty program in an effort to reassure consumers, incurring an estimated $1 billion bill in the process, public confidence in the Xbox 360 was harmed immeasurably. Many online reports indicated purchase...""

Many online reports indicated purchasers had to go through four or more replacement machines before receiving one that worked, and Microsoft amassed a "bone yard" of 500,000 broken consoles in the process, Takahashi claims.
Gates benefited from one of histories worst business decisions.
IBM thought the money was going to be in hardware, they let Microsoft buy the operating system they had supplied to IBM!

*window pops up again*
DAMN IT!
He could be considered the smartest person, or he could be considered an ordinary cheat. I wonder if he actually wrote the speech to the high school students or is he once again taking credit for others' work.
I would have added to the speech: "If you're worth over 40 billion, don't settle for a $4 haircut."
when he sells people $200 software, we have to prove we own it
everytime we do a reinstall.
do you realize what 40 BILLION dollars is ??? the man could spend
$80,000.00 a day and it would take him over 150 years to go broke.
and he's worried about whether I had payed for my windows XP disc.
and just cos he has money, doesn;t mean he's smart..he hires people to create software, and he didn;t create windows on his own...
George Soros is a complete idiot and he's one of the richest people in the world.
a large bank account doesn't necessarily equal success, and a degree on the wall doesn't necessarily equal wisdom.
LOL!!!!!:):):)
And he IS smart, but I'm sure it helped a bit that his parents had money and connections. Billy was enrolled in Harvard, that couldn't have been cheap. Anyone know if he actually graduated?
Microsoft is what you get when business dictates technology.
Many will dismiss Gates as an exceptional individual, who may have dropped out of college, but excelled in high school before being accepted at Harvard.
More power to people like that. They busted their ass to get there. Whether be it very intelligent or at the right place/right time. Good for them. Bill Gates included.:):):):)
