    I missed it but since Bill Gates has no relevant effect on my life, I don't really care about his.

    Never been one to track the rich and famous.

          Personally i say congrats to him.

          He may not make the most stable software, but he does a great deal for the people.

          I think people hate him just to follow a trend, and becuase they're envious of his wealth.

          People should just lay off him, he's a great guy, and makes great software.

            Agreed, and I personally think donating HALF his net worth, 23 billion to charity a damn good thing as well.

            I'd love to see how many others here have donated billions to charity.

                  I saw it on the BBC Daily email I have sent to me at school, but did not really care

                  I mean the guy has done well but there have been so many random honours within the last year I believe the system to be a shambles

                      Nope, I didn't miss it. Bill Gates is a good person, I'm glad he received it.

                            You are right, he does donate lots of money to differnt causes, i know a few years ago he donated 700 million to Aids in affrica >.> no small ammount of money in any case. Overall hes not a bad guy
