Money Programme: Bill Gates: How a Geek Changed the World (Part 3)

The Money Programme's Fiona Bruce gains exclusive access to Bill Gates as he prepares to step down from full-time involvement with Microsoft, the company he helped found. Gates's company has changed the world, but he's a controversial figure, with his ruthless business leadership contributing to Microsoft being sued by the US government. In a special one-hour edition of the Money Programme, Fiona Bruce presents the definitive profile of Bill Gates as he embarks on his latest challenge: giving away the billions he's amassed. She examines the fortunes of Microsoft as it faces up to competition from internet-based companies, and the programme asks an array of well-known friends, colleagues and rivals what the future holds for the company in a post-Gates world.

No Problem (;

If I were there when companies or people said Microsoft was doing this and that and not fair I'd say this: STOP TROLLING AROUND! You mad? LIVE WITH IT! Go make your own software and compete if you don't like it. He did something no one did or did but he did better. Don't like it? Well boo-fucking-hoo.

"profits of almost a billion $ a week" Where does she get that?

[IceKoldKilla1992]

@Stube437 I know LOL Sounds so fake to me. I think she meant a million. That would sound correct although I dunno anything about it so I can't tell for sure but 1 billion a day sounds stupid to me and false
