Which is why everyone needs to switch to Linux which always has been by far the best OS out there, and still FREE. Legally free, that is.
^ A lot of people believe that, but windows, is still much easier for a beginner to use. Plus if it got big, you would see as many holes in linux as you do windows.
No wonder it's the owner of Ikea, that junk that they sell falls apart in no time so if you want to get a new piece cheap you go back to Icrappa (lol Ikea) and get a new one... a lot of people do this because it's cheap thus he makes double the money.....

Stuff Bill
Bill is a big spender. (did you see his house, LOL?)
And he gave about half his money to charity (I know he could spare it, but still: THANKS!)
This Swedish guy is economical.

Well I don?t need billions.
I?d be happy with enough to put my kids through uni. , pay off my loans, buy my own house, pay for my parent new house that they are building, buy a 4x4, a family car and a sports car for Sundays.
O ad pay medical and pensions for me and my family.
Thats all.
999 million would do me
Seroiusly, family first.

If he is not the richest, at least he is still second richest
