The money he gives to charity serves 2 purposes, and 2 purposes only.

1. Tax writeoff

2. Good PR, expecially at a time when he\'s catching hell for breakin AntiTrust laws and some of his shreweder buisness moves are becomming public knowlage.

He\'s not a great man. He\'s a ruthless, sneaky, unsympathetic, evil, backstabbing, son of a *****, and unfortunately those are key traits to being a successful buisnessman. While I agree that he\'s pushed the industry, I\'d rather he didn\'t dominate it. I\'d rather see the computer industry grow slowly with plenty of competition and new ideas that spur innovation and choice rather than a fast growing industry where it\'s either M$\'s way or no way.

§ôµÏG®ïñD,

Wow, I can\'t believe the hatred has been brought to this level.

I think maybe we have met the anti-christ in Bill Gates.

Everything Gates does is designed to dig himself and his company deeper into consumer\'s lives and privacy  so that eventually everyone will have to buy their software, hardware, dogfood, and children from him.

As far as I\'m concerned he ain\'t nothing special.  There\'ll be another one follow him after he\'s gone.

Viva la resistance.

Ohh, i don\'t hate mister gates.. He\'s done nothing to piss me off. I\'m just amazed he hasn\'t pissed off someone else and got blown away for it.

as for GT3..  I can still get it. So it doesn\'t bother me that it\'s been banned here. It\'s a shame.. But doesn\'t bother me.. Maybe a 18+ rating system would have been better.
