Part of the MSFT keynote address at CES 2008. Gates poking fun at himself.The Link
I know a lot of people dont like gates/msft, but hes contributed a ridiculous amount to the technology we use in our everyday lives and is one hell of a philanthropist.
Out of the blue, I asked him "if you could be any kind of cheese, what kind of cheese would you be?", he told me "the big cheese" without hesitating. I was impressed.
After that, I asked him for a hug. It was weird -- for both of us -- but I quicky got out of his sight after I hugged him. Oh yeah, he drinks a **** ton of Fresca. Probably had 2 or 3 in 2 hours. He is also got quite a belly, which is not so noticeable from his pictures.
He's not just one hell of a philanthropist, he's the greatest philanthropist in the history of civilization, and that's not even including all the secretaries and software engineers he made into millionaires by building one of the greatest companies ever.
im not a windows fan in the least but i never disliked gates for putting it together, just an ingenious business model. he is also a great humanitarian. i personally always liked the guy, just not many of their products...
