151. I've taken shots at either of them, it is your false assertion that they
are "great guys" and self made. I don't know too much about Buffet, but as I understand it he made his bucks spotting undervalued assets, investing in them and turning them around, sounds fine to me.

William Gates III however, is an entirely different story and I've been tangentially involved since the beginning. Micro$hit is, and always has, operated through the time-honored capitalistic traditions of lying, cheating, and stealing. It's very inception was brought about through the very definition of fraud, they sold a product to IBM that they didn't own, have any rights to, nor have the means to create, without informing IBM of these facts. The companies entire history is characterized by a constant stream of lies, theft, cheats, and betrayal. The former "Chief Architect" of M$ couldn't write "hello world" without a manual, and never could, yet he is hailed by those that don't know anything about computer software, as some kind of programming genius. He was just the poor little rich kid that stumbled onto the "next big thing".

BTW where's your argument that the are "great guys"?

Side note From the forum rules: "3. Civility: Treat other members with respect. Do not post personal attacks against other members of this discussion forum." I'm pretty sure calling me an asshole, small, and petty, violates this.
