Every year that MS makes an OS, it gets more and more like Mac OSX. When the next one is released it will the exact same as the Mac's OS, just for the PC.

That sounds about the same amount of time windows 95 came out before windows 98. 2.5 years you say? Too bad Windows ME came out just two measly years after Windows 98 or it could be in the same boat.

Macs would become an illegal substance. Owning a Mac would have a penalty worse than owning crack cocaine. Death to anyone who owns a Mac, or any Sony or Nintendo product.

Yeah, then he can't give more to cure diseases in Africa. Think for a change.

yeah, and I'm sure he doesn't even use that as a tax write-off either? YOU think for a change. No money-conscious person just "gives" away millions of dollars for nothing. he easily gained most/all of that back in charity tax write-offs.

Actually, I do understand he gives a lot to cherity... and he is quitting... but thanks for standing up for me 0rin. Anyways, I don't know who runs m$ now. But seriously, even though he gives a lot to help Africa, you should see how spoiled he is tech wise... There was something talking about how he has tech that we won't see for a couple more years... No joke, I read that somewhere (TIME? NEWSWEEK?)

They're saying 2012 now. And it's using the same architecture. It'll be like the jump from NT to XP. XP is an upgraded NT.

And bot Apple and MS copied the GUI OS from Xerox. Whats your point? The whole freakin computer technology industry is based off taking someone else's ideas and making them better. Just like AMD and Intel, nvidia and ATI, MS and Apple. Everyone's always copying someone... You're actin like MS is the only company that does this, which makes you appear very uninformed.

No joke, I read that somewhere (TIME? NEWSWEEK?)

He's one of the, if not the single wealthest person in the world. . .what'd you expect him to have tech wise? To be driving a 95' Ford Escort? Come on, you know if you were as rich as him you'd have tech that we wouldn't see for years too. The real question is, if you were as rich as him, would you give away over 14 billion dollars to charity? Let's ignore the fact that he may or may not use his charity donations as tax write-offs because that point is really not important. He wouldn't need to give away 14 billion dollars to cover his taxes. He gave so much money because he actually believes in the causes he's funding. Before simply taking shots at a person For GIVING AWAY money maybe it'd be wise to be fully informed on the information. Also, Apple releases a new OS every 2 years or so. This is nothing new in the OS world. Think of Windows '95, '98, 2000/ME, XP. See the pattern? Vista was out of the norm for the regular cycle Microsoft has used because it was such a huge upgrade. But now that the core is wrote, it will be easy to release a new OS every few years for those people that need to stay with the latest and greatest.

If I were you I'd learn how to spell first before trying to post misleading facts. If you know anything, his charity money doesn't go to the government but to suppliers of medicines which then get delivered by logistical companies. Stating false facts can get you sued for defamation of character. Id' watch what I say if i were you.

If the story is true, it was purely an accident. Bill Gates is the most charitable person in the world. He donates an enormous amount of money to all types of causes. He does NOT support terrorism!!
