I personally don't want this to happen.
Also, I think that since there are 2 years left there's nothing jump about.
gates is retiering... this is too good for spam, to outerworld!
wonder how much money he will have made ever since the start of his career..
Who honestly cares? You know that certain windows xp editions require you to purchase a new copy everytime you change your motherboard?
Well he made a difference in the world...
Peace B.G!
He have made enough money and its time for him to retire lol
I hope that doesn't mean that he's gonna roll up microsoft
oh shit, i'll have to cut down my motherboard changes to every second week now! :eek:Quote:

i've had my comp for 2 years and never changed it... unless you really have no idea what to look for in a motherboard and just buy one and then 2 weeks later buy another one that looks better, there is absolutely no reason to change it that often.
People want faster pc's ?Quote:

That's why you are supposed to call Microsoft, and they will provide you with a new key after a few questions and stuff.Quote:

You know that Windows XP sticker you get with each copy? Any computer running Windows requires it on the case. If you do not have it then it's deamed illegal.
Also what the big point to Bill Gates? He does nothing for Microsoft any more. Just sits in his big chair and looks pretty for the camera. That is all. He is just the immage of Microsoft.
NoPeace - out
Who honestly cares about that...Quote:
