All that video said to me the first time I saw it was, well MS are
proving that they have money by hiring all of the celebs to be in it.

Now you mention it I'd like to know what Bill developed other than a
massive corporate entity that has gone some way to destroy software
development from a developer perspective and a business perspective, to
reference an unofficial quote from Bill. "Writing code at redmond is
like eating noodles with one chop stick"

Finally I find it hard not to make fun of Bill, he's an easy target, and
well no matter how hard weedy boy and monkey boy "TRY" to be funny, they
just end up looking stupid. Remember the "Get on your feet" vocal chord
surgery incident?
