Microsoft founder Bill Gates moves on - 27 Jun 08

[koouumar]

he has a house built in the side of a very large foothill on a lake side fully computer integrated im sure he's got a batcar some where

[koouumar]

so he has 50 billion through tech innovation and he drives a ford focas without nav...sigh

[quakebox]

@koouumar owning a lexury car is not that important in his list he seems a casual guy

[Grant691]

"IBM" They flip a coin on that one?

[wiscont]

I love Bill Gates. He is the real man, so amused when i learned that he has this very humble side, the hobby of making fun of himself and the ability to make billions.

[gumball3D]

People who hate on Gates are just jealous of his success and his ability to make billions.

[GT1amuse22k]

Bill gates was ok, but his employee are pure assholes. Like Steve Ballmer who's like to criticize every competition company. Hate that guy just like Bush for making this economy.

[hankscorpiouk]

Funny that, how they hate gates but not other multi-billionaires. How do you explain that genius???

[AXTRONS]

viva el monopolio

[6663mo]

simon por eso lo usas verdad

[geojhkj]

i love bill

[WWEAssassinz]

if it wasn't for bill gates technology would suck and games would probably still b 2d.

[drzipperhead]

how so? microsoft was about software, not hardware.

[WWEAssassinz]

they made all the good programs for a computer so we can have 3d graphics in games and fake things that happens on tv like fighting could look realer

[drzipperhead]

i think you need to do some research.....and

"fighting could look realer "

is that even a word

[WWEAssassinz]

realistic then if you have to be such a nerd

[drzipperhead]

this may come as a surprise to you so brace yourself, but wrestling is fake. yes, i know its hard for your simple southern mind to grasp but its true.

[WWEAssassinz]

i no wrestling is fake for years now but i like it because it is good entertainment which is what the E in WWE stands for. and im not southern or american

[joemeredith]

to drzipperhead you need the software to be able to run the hardware so face it your wrong hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahh­hahahahahahahahaha you are stupid

[drzipperhead]

your replying to something this old? and yes you need software to run hardware but not all software is made by microsoft.

[joemeredith]

and your going back to something this old if the fact of age of the original comment is so important then why reply?

[04scottt]

errr wrong actualy you can run without an OS. sorry to destroy your argument

[xXMastermind1Xx]

its aiight gates 4 get yahoo its all about googl anyway

[cheatofpaper]

on gates´s last day was my birthday lol

[ronald2394]

Hey Bill,why dont you give people the back up discs for their computers when they buy them from new. Get a virus and you have to buy windows again if you have to format. 2 bites at the cherry eh Bill, how much money do you need. It takes talent to write viruses,the kind of talent at microsoft I wonder.

[crakc]

so cool!!! msg me! 4

[camy205]

hes a legend

[GhostXoP]

you bet your ass he is, he has done good in the office

[btester1]

Hey Bill, love your eugenics foundation.

We all know. Are you worried this will come back to you.

[ToomasKedrov]

[yodafan255]

[mrb3n]

Only showing face as the boss once a week now, instead of everyday? Never mind killer diseases, I want more xbox! The lazy bugger. Haha! :)

[hokedd]

[jhall025]

[97kcoats]

I have made my own programme not windows

[rock3tcat]

[97kcoats]

Hardly a noob... It will be stronger and better than MS.

[grantmaster13]

i hate bill gates for all that he has done to me

[06sentongoj81]

selled well? sold u mean

[orgthingy]

Hell with him, Linus and FSF changed my life (into a better one) but bill gates turned it into a disaster!!!

[PivotDreamArt]

Tell me now...How can anyone hate Bill?!

[orgthingy]

look at his bad side of him, not good side.. his bad side SUCKS

[pedro3661297]

Does that BARSTA** Bill Gates have a good side?

[DubbedAnimeCentral]

Flaws in Vista?

Shit I have had home basic since its release and not had one single problem.

Its the Apple commercials that made people brainwashed into thinking that BS.

I am pc I am mac.

Apple's sad attempt at selling something by dissing another product.

[tylerbees123]

Exactly! why would a company that thinks their better than microsoft..post commercials up and use name calling tactics...that doesnt sound like its better to me

[gittygittygoo1012]

apple is just plain sad

[orgthingy]

see, you use computers for simple use, but, we fuck our computers and vista isnt fuckable

[DubbedAnimeCentral]

Ummm You are very wrong their buddy.

I probably use double the software programs and editing software than you.

Simple use give me a break I would not use a computer if I wasn't actually USING it.

[linn63]

bill gates doesn't afford stuff jk lol he's the best buutttt i want his money !!!!!!!! 50 billion would be plenty :PPP XDD

[dgo0118]

Actually I am a proud Mac-User; but I really like Bill Gates. He is such a good man...

[americanevil07]

he is rich

[doodyl9]

This MAN donated 58% of every cent he's ever had. The Waltons(walmart/sams club) donated less than 1% of their massive fortune.

[flip2mac]

Well he stole 90% of that from most companies. Bill Gates deserves to be put behind bars

[gamefreak1000000]

Fuck you -_-

[ClubPenguinCheatBox]

Bye Bill! I wish you all the best of luck with the Bill & Malinda Gates foundation!

[jwhite871]

I respect Bill Gates alot. He has made my life so simple with the technology these days, unless I have to go somewhere in an emergency, the price of gas dosen't hurt me one bit. I remember using cellular technology in the days, now I just use my laptop too communicate, and get things done. Such an easy life, thanks Bill!

[hehwhatever]

BSoD wiping HDD... Total idiot... BSoD is a memory dumb error you dumb shit... Go back to your Mac...

[grubbster1]

I think they should make bill gates a character on guitar hero lol hes gd at it :P

[Staedlter]

I personally am a mac fan but Bill Gates brought so much to our technology world. And he is a very kind, caring and devoted human being. In my book, he is by far one of the most influential person in the history of mankind. Thank you Gates for your contribution! Best of wishes in your future endeavors!

[khaledacmilan]

i respect you Mr.Bill Gates so much.

but i don't like Windows.

i think Mac is the best OS.

Good luck Mr.Bill Gates in your life. :)

[animan987]

bill gates just wants to find new wats to make money if you buy vista for your pc it won't be compatible and you wil get BSOD(BLUE SCREEN-WIPES OUT HARD DRIVE).BUT I BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP AND VIST WORKS PERFECTLY ON IT

[TheSizMan]

[C0202214]

[kiwigal36]

[WarlordShaft]

[lynx9595]

%90 of pc's what a bunch of shit. MAC OS and Linux make up way more then %10 of pcs in the whole world.

[widerangledotcom]

facebook - um, microsoft owns a large chunk of it, or at least has 'invested money' in it.

[5uper5tring]

Bill Gates is a great guy and so is Buffett.

[DonSimonBolivar]

IBM has connection to the Nazi's! Look it up. Don't buy IBM.

[troyg19]

farewell you evil son of a bitch

[ThirdEyeOpen123]

did he say vista selled well? thought the correct term was sold?... any way..yes vista IS very fucking shit

[4robot]

"sells well" present tense : )

[ThirdEyeOpen123]

i see

[alesbica]

It is probably "selled" in other English-speaking countries. I don't know.

[widerangledotcom]

it sells very well. faster rate than XP.

[keytoothed]

Gates ripped off Jobs.

[thisisUll]

Hes still a twat.

Vista is friggin horseshit but the monopoly force feeds you this shit.

Corporaton devils rule the world!

[boringlyawesum]

swtich to linux then! jesus

[outdevo]

terrible journalism on that piece. Gates didn't get windows from IBM, for starters.

[dushmis]

Yooo Hooo...

You Rock Man...

Whole Microsoft Team Rock Man....

[dushmis]

The Man With The Golden Brain ..

You Rock Man...!!!

Good Job..

God Bless You...

Good Luck With Your Work...

And Windows Rock !!!

We Love You

[rottie]

This is a man committing anti-trust crimes all over the world and yet has the cheek to pursue copyright charges by bribing foreign governments. For all his wealth and resources he wouldn't make an OS that is stable and user-friendly and forces people to discard their OS every few years and throw away perfectly good computers. The world must ensure such an ogre never rise again.

[dushmis]

fuck off man...

[rottie]

He's leaving with billions of curses on his head. You shouldn't use such language on the poor man.

[dushmis]

yeah man...

i know ,

i m his big fan ..

i wrote that for replied that for one user comment , thats not for him yaar...

i know billgates rocks ..!!

and i love windows !!

[theastrusmega]

that was almost a smear Al Jazeera...

[mikeadd]

Hi Bill,

Sorry to hear about your retirement. If you need some pin money, I'd be happy to contract you in my business for a few hours a month (:

Plus - I need a general a DIY and Gardener for a few hours a week, if you need to supplement your income for any reason.

Best Regards

Mike

[GeorgeHH21]

what if bill gates didnt take ibm program lol the world would look so different lol we have paper computers haha =)

[mrNHC]

good man

[dextermorgan3]

What a man! Probably the one person who has influenced more people in the world (non religious). Its a crime the way other companies and countries (especially the Euro's) for trying to blackmail him. From a garage to richest man -- NICE!

[KaoriBlue]

I will miss you!!! Good luck with the foundation and your future endeavors.

[1tonykirk]

bravo... what a clever businessman. that's all he was.

[LifeisGreat09]

You rock Bill NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU

:D WE love you.

[mchboy1]

BILL GATES IS THE GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD!!!!! he has put so much into computing that 90% of the world uses his products daily!!!! HE IS AWESOME!!

[mrscience00]

Wow! How wonderful. God bless him, I hope he succeeds in his attempts.

[mvspeed101]

A pioneer in every sense of the word...We're gonna miss ya Bill...

[crazycatfguy]

When Gates walked out on the OS/2 project he left IBM with the patents on all his good ideas and started over making crappy OS that he marketed to people who did not know enough about computers to realize just how crappy Microsoft software was. Each OS was more buggy and bloated than the last causing hardware manufactures to constantly make faster computers to run his crap.

[Screwschom]

It worked.

[crazycatfguy]

My new dual core processor computer with 3 gig of ram takes 13 minutes and 12 seconds to boot Vista and it almost multitask as well as my 486/66 computer with 8 meg of memory did with Os/2.

[Screwschom]

Who has 44 billion dollars? He does. It worked.

[Ainataa]

Maybe you should quit downloading porn and performing other senseless tasks for the greater part of the day. Chances are you're neglecting your computer and invest in faulty means of security. Can't blame the man for that. I bought my computer a year ago, upgraded, and it works like a charm.

On the topic, I believe it was a good decision on his part. The company isn't doing well, so rather than loose the money on cold business, spend it on human lives. I wish him the best. He's a wonderful man.

[lambera03]

how isnt the company doing well it obviously must be when nearly every computer sold in the world normally is always installed with windows programe and the gaming part aswell with the xbox 360 so i would imagine the company is doing well when it is worth about 80 billion

[Ainataa]

Sure, it's doing great compared to every other company, but it's not on a high trend. It's going down. Their new OS is very flawed, their Xbox 360 is extremely flawed as well, and they are doing a terrible job of marketing the Zune. They're not doing as well as they should be, that is what I meant. Check the numbers.

[TedJesusChristGOD37]

I AM SECOND COMING of JESUS CHRIST and THE CREATOR and GOD and MANY NEED to READ what I a have WRITTEN on Internet Site about Bill Gates and Founders and Microsoft!

TED ; TED Jesus Christ GOD

[ronald2394]

Jesus saves,but Beckham scores on the rebound.

[vettyarvind]

Bill Gates I love you. U r my GOD. U are always in my heart & memory

[jwlvs]

I'm a big Apple fan, and a huge critic of Microsoft's products and business practices. I use Linux and various Unixes for work, and Macs as often as possible (work and home, I am lucky.

With that said, Bill Gates number two is one of my heroes. He really does use his wealth to benefit the world in very specific and focused ways.

If he truly could rid the world of malaria and AIDS, he will go down in history as one of the greatest men ever. despite anything bad you can say about Microsoft.

[pyrositytube]

rid the world of malaria ? So calling for Mosquitoes genocide? the only way would be to do as such.

[takerdust]

100 billion is peanuts if you don't know how to use the money correctly

[7boon]

He gave a truckload of $ to my university to pay it to stop teaching Java. So dumb.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Pro Bill Gates rubbish. We didn't a choice to his monopoly and his products have always been technically inferior to Linux and other non mass produced operating systems. Even today I have to use WINDOSE because the better systems don't support games.

[teemuruskeepaa]

...and ridiculously more expensive than other systems.

[biggerflexible]

shut up or I will hit you with a table computer.

[teemuruskeepaa]

No.

[joemeredith]

table computer lololololol funniest thing ever you have made my day!!11one

[ronald2394]

You should have bought the spelling programme mate.

[totalnerd747]

DOS ISN'T IBM SOFTWARE!!!

[crazycatfguy]

You are so right. IBM did not recognize that there might be a future in PC's and let Gates keep the patent and rights to sell dos.

[ScarletLetterR]

Although I use linux, I respect Bill. At least he's trying to do something good with his money. Maybe he should run for prez in 2008 I'd consider voting for him.

[rockerstorm]

haha.

you all sit here and disrespect windows.

id love to see you do a fucking better job than this man has ever done. so dont critisize something you're not even worth doing, what have you ever done for anyone on this planet? if it wasnt for bill gates you probably wouldnt be sitting here typin on this computer.

so shut the fuck up you whining little bastards.

[crazycatfguy]

Gates contracted with IBM to build the ultimate operating system called OS/2. When he pulled out he left IBM with the patents on all his great ideas and started from scratch with bad ideas that he marketed to people who knew so little about computers they did not realize that Windows sucked. When idiots started using computers they looked to peripherals that were stamped microsoft approved so they would know it would work with their systems. They abandoned OS/2 because the money was in idiots.

[minuteman360]

Screw windows, yeah Mac will keep kicking your error prone asses!

[GhostVirusx90]

Man im sick of all you nerds

[minuteman360]

I am about as far from a nerd as you can get, just because you lack intelligence dose not mean you are better than anyone else dip shit, it's common sense!

[onlydragon]

we love u bill, keep it up

[lizhanhui]

can you still endure the Hijacted Internet Explorer regardless the highly presonalized Firefox....

[lizhanhui]

No matter he relinquish actively or not, the empire of Microsoft will diminish day by day. The Opensource Linux and Mac are now exerting an incresing influence to world. Espcially the linux OS I find more and more people are switching to thought they bought laptops pre-installed Windows in pursuit of faster and safer machine. Are you still bearing your computer's frequent crashing and endless patches update.

[toosinbeymen]

Besides PCs, which Msft only marketed well as they were invented by Apple, the other major contribution of Bill Gates was overturning the monopoly law protecting Americans from aggressive monopolistic practices by businesses. Thank you, Bill.

[lfzz]

We'll miss bill, and there're many other bills!

[NewsJunky24]

i loved the report and the camera work ,it new on al-jazeera English

[JJJadm]

i think microsoft was the greatest invention of the twenty century

[NoAssumptions]

good ol bill, lets see what a rich man can do with his money when "aimed at a good cause"
