While I have never been a fan of Microsoft products, primarily because they are poorly tested before release, slamming Bill for his actions both in business and personal are ridiculous. Yes, his business practices have not always been ethical, but in comparison to other corporate executive antics (ENRON), he isn't the Antichrist people make him out to be. Bill and Melinda donate more to charity than the entire movie industry combined, yet we praise them for their paltry gifts to tsunami releif and AIDS charities.
Why must we all focus on the negative rather than praising the positive? I think Bill and Melinda are shining examples of what the richest 1% of the world SHOULD be doing with their money - not wasting it all on fancy cars, virgin hair extensions, and plastic surgery ad infinitum.
I am anti-Microsoft, but certainly not anti-Gates.
Go wild Bill!
