is there irony in the fact that i watched this using Linux Mint?
An interesting doco.. Quite the intelligent person. I don’t really understand why the U.S govt. took him to court when the company would have been making them Hundreds of Millions in taxes.. Seeing as they are self serving and all…
Yeah, why they don’t take apple to court for including Safari in their Mac?? or take google for controlling the search results..
I believe the FTC is taking Google to court.
isn’t google one of most sued companies?
Only in America can someone (Billy Gates) build something that never worked correctly and become one of the richest people in the world. That just goes to show you; if you have a lump of S*#T and market it well enough, people will buy it. Question for you Bill: If you want to give back, why not give to the people in this country and not other countries? People like our veterans who are living on the streets, homeless, Schools and hospitals that are being shut down, etc.
Jay E Court look up gatesfoundation.org then tell steve jobs to match it with his piece of sh*t
I just love the inspiration this video gives me.
You have to envy mr Gates…
Jay E Court,
I haven’t seen such a selfish individual in a long time, but then again, I don’t hang with your kind of people.
To Jay E Court
You must be joking …what an a’hole you must be… Bill Gates thru M/s made computers easy to use for millions of people around the world…of course there were some mistakes along the way…what company in the world has never made mistakes?
