    I dont think they hate him, they just like to poke fun at him 'cause he's an easy target. Like taking the micky out of like Stephen Hawking.
    Even idiots realise that he does great stuff for the pc.

    Yeah he donates money. That is great. But we must remeber where he got this money in the first place. By exploting workers. So I like how he gives money but we must not forget that in order to get that money he exploited millions of workers.

    well, here's my view on it: human beings are jealous by nature, and when they find someone who is WAY richer, WAY smarter, and WAY more successful, of course their gonna pick him apart. i think ol` bills a bonafide badass personally, but ya know, that's just me ;)

    Bill Gates is a frickin' Genius! Windows is a great OS no matter what anyone says.

    I also wonder what life would be like if Apple had won that little 'war.'



    When you design an operating system that is more widely used than Windows, then and only then can you trash talk Billy.

    Depends on what perspective you see it from. Some non-US citizens hate him because of his capitalistic ideology. Some despite him for his wealthy, obviously, and some others despite him because of what he' s done to the computer market. Creating Microsoft has made it the most standard OS today, especially for gaming - which is a multi-million dollar market. Because of this, Gates appears to people as nothing more than a college-dropout who scooped up the hottest thing since sliced bread.

    I agree that when he makes people lose their jobs, he has done something wrong.

    But over the internet in the past, I have seen things like:

    "OMG! Bill Games is a loser because he doesn't put <insert random feature> in Windows"

    Honestly, stupid. Stupid.

    He's a good guy. He has a crap load of money, but hell he aint greedy with his money. He uses it for charity, people should really get their facts straight. If you send him a letter with a good reason, he'll send some money over to your PARENTS. Well, I've heard that part from a lot places and sites. But I say he's a cool guy.
