RE: Yikes!

"I have no opinion on the Gates Foundation but reading comments on the web opposition seems to come almost purely from tea-bagging conspiracy theorists and people who have issues with Bill Gates the person poo-pooing everything with his name attached."

I don't like his vaccinating starving people in third world countries. Nobody should do that until they learn birth control. Feed 1 get 12, feed those 12 and get 144, feed those 144 you get 1,728. This planet can barely feed ourselves. With commercial farming the yield in tonnage has increased, but with a corresponding dilution of essential minerals and whatnot.

He stole Windows basically. Similar software was out there. It was called a DOS shell and really it still is. It will not run without a disk, unlike Linux. The GUI came from Apple. 'Early widows came from IBM's Presentation manger. More modern memory handling, scalable windows and a few other things cam from Desqview, put out by a company called Quarterdeck.

The main thing Bill Gatres did was to figure out how to get paid. He may be an ultrasickening liberal, but so are many people.
