How Bill Gates Works

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the day-in-the-life-of dept.

ZZeta writes "What's a day like for the richest man on Earth? In this Fortune interview, Bill Gates explains what he does on his average workday. Most interesting? He is not into some of Outlook's features, such as to-do lists and email notification. Also, he works with three monitors and is looking forward to buying a digital whiteboard next year." I was interested in how he gets his e-mail filtered. Hey Bill, if you read this, I'll totally put you on my e-mail whitelist!

    First of all, he looks like Woody Allen in that picture.

    Second of all, it would be funny to see if the picture could be enhanced to see his outlook inbox to see the senders and subjects of the emails that he has there.

    Hmmm. The Euro symbol doesn't seem to display on /.

    A bug maybe?
