That's Right. Watching The News This Morning I Was Shocked To See Bill Gates Is No Longer The Richest Man In The World. If Dropped To Number 3.

Still no justice in the world. Why do you think he does so much with charities . . . it's because he stole the platform that made him rich in the first place, no he's just trying to sooth his conscience.
He Didn't Really Steal It, He's Just A An Awesome Negotiator. Did You Know That Due To A Contract He Signed In The 1980s he's still getting 2k usd per every ibm computer sold with windows on it?

Bullshit, it's not too bad, if they did, they'd be ridiculously overpriced to subsidize an archaic contract pay structure.

I just don't agree with overpaying for a program that has had little requirements in the way of R&D in the last two decades. Why is Microsoft Office close to $1000 dollars when I can by a WordPerfect Suite for in the neighborhood of $100. They function much the same, little in the way differentiates them asides from compatibility. If I want to correspond electronically with a business, I'll need to buy Word from Microsoft so that I know they'll be able to read it, and I'll have to drop over $200 just to be able to do that. It's insane, and I resent being squeezed into a corner like that.
