[Billy_Dean]

So many people love Bill Gates and all he's done for us, that I thought you should have the opportunity to express your gratitude.

[bigboab]

Metaphorically would it be possible for Gates to open Doors for us? Or will we have to use the Windows?

[UKMan]

Mr Gates, is it true you are The Beast as spoken of in the Book Of Revelations??

If you say NO, then i'll know your lieing.

Peace

Without Bill Gates' Windows OS, I would have never been able to download RadHat LINUX.

[Guillaume]

Yes, I really appreciate what you did for us Bill...

Now, if you'd be so kind as to pull your pants down and bend over, I might be able to return the favors you gave us so kindly... http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/tongue.gifhttp://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/fingerright.gif

To Old 'i'm to rich for my shirt' Bill

Thank&#39;s for, uu, wait, i&#39;m sure there was something I wanted to show my appreciation for but whilst typing this Window&#39;s froze and in my frustration I forgot what it was <_< :angry:

Uu, yea, I remember, thank&#39;s for the dl of Window&#39;s XP via Kazaa as Windows ME was doing my nogging in with all the crashes everytime I tried to do bugger all on it, though f&#39;u for making me dl it twice due to the first dl being corrupt.

Thank&#39;s for the overly priced piece&#39;s of crap you release, i&#39;m not a rich bastard like you and can&#39;t afford stuff like that :(

But, mostly, thank&#39;s for being so rich, as it give&#39;s me someone to hate for being such a corporate bully and mongrel that can get away with unfair trading and shit.

Sniper.

Well, I don&#39;t know who this Bill Gates might be, but one time, I was at the Waffle House and I was really wasted (had been eating Tequila-Pudding and drinking Mushroom Tea all day & night)...
and at one point my waitress came over to offer me another heap of napkins (there was syrup everywhere&#33;) and she startled me,
causing me to drop my fork.
As I bent down to pick it up I noticed that my left leg had somehow fallen off, and was lying on the floor, just out of my reach.
I struggled with it for a while, and ended up with syrup in my hair, until a very nice man named Phil Gates came to my aid.
He was actually a Vietnam vet and crazy as a junior-high paint-huffer, but he was quite nice and helped me with my leg.
(Turned out it wasn&#39;t my leg at all...must&#39;ve been a trick of the light, or swamp gases, like on those UFO photos)

I am forever in debt to that man, Phil Gates. If not for him, I would probably still be in that Waffle House, threatening the other patrons
for a copy of the daily newspaper.

here&#39;s to you Phil&#33;

Not a bump.

Thanks Bill for Windows&#33; But I still won&#39;t pay for your software...ever

[Wednesday]

Without Bill Gates people like this would be out of work.here (http://www.annoyances.org)

[Spindulik]

I would like to thank Bill, in appreciation for the great software systems around. I would like to thank IBM computers (in the early 1990&#39;s) for agreeing to include Windows "free", without ever noticing that the user bought a "license" and not the software, and that Bill still owns it. Now all of the computer giants have followed suit. I would like to thank Bill for charging outrageous prices for Windows3.0 then suddenly introduce Windows95 for double the outrageous price, to only toss Windows98 at us again. I like to thank Bill for all of the blue screens across the world. Lost DATA and high prices for technical support. I would like to thank Bill for charging me &#036;200.00 to "let me use" a copy of WindowsXP Home Edition, only to find out that he next version is soon to come, and supposed to be better. I thank Bill for charging so much for Windows that he gave copies of it for free to other people and schools. I would like to thank bill for making it possible for me to download LINUX for free, via Microsoft Windows, then delete Windows.

-Thanks Bill gates
Love Spindulik

[colt45joe]

i havent had any problems with windows xp, i had a few with 95 and 98... but whatever, i dont really get why so many people hate him, just because he has a lot of money i guess.

[Busyman]

Thanks Bill

You help set the standard for computing so most of the people complaining here could talk to each other.
Oh I&#39;m sorry you fucked things up. I wanted the guy down the street to use BeOS while the guy up the street uses OS2/Warp so they could NOT communicate with my PC that&#39;s running Pascal.
You really ruined things and all now that I&#39;m able to pay bills online. I liked writing checks.
And downloading movies. You support piracy because we get these movies using your OS.
You harmed me the consumer. I spent my &#036;90 too quickly for these conveniences.
You harmed me the consumer again when you offered your browser for free when Netscape, who had 90% of the market, charged me money for theirs. Shame on you.
"I" am harmed by what you did to Sun Microsystems
Apple claims you stole their OS that they stole from Xerox :lol: .

Say it ain&#39;t so Bill say it ain&#39;t so.

You sound like the Anti-Michael Moore.

Well done. ;)

[Busyman]

Aww I like ole&#39; Mike to an extent. He&#39;s a little too one sided though.

[Billy_Dean]

I&#39;m glad he takes my money, or I&#39;d be spending it on drugs and sleeping rough.
