What? I don' t get it.
Computers became his big thing after he created Microsoft.
Maybe you mean Xbox. That he created Xbox so that PC' s wouldn' t be his only great thing?

Or what?

Bill gates said,he was gonna make worlds strongest console with the best games at a price every kid could buy it at.

Clearly he must have changed his mind with XBOX....

I refer to the price...

Bill Gates has a vision: To be responsible for all the digital entertainment in your home.
Microsoft has a vision: To get as much money as possible and conquer the world.

There' s the reasons why there' s an Xbox. Simple as that!

" microsoft" made the xbox because video games are now big buisness, and they wanted to get into that market.

The same reason sony,panasonic(3do) and NEC got into the market, to make money.

What' s a " nizzle" ?



Sony and Microsoft both want to control your livingroom. They have both been thinking about it for a long time now.

Microsoft got into the games industry to keep their rivals at arms length. Microsoft don' t want Sony getting into things like software development.

Apple and Sony are Microsoft biggest competition and Microsoft' s plan is working because Sony have spent much of the past 4 years worth of profit on develoing CELL and Blu-Ray. Sony can' t afford to do anything else right now and Microsoft are giving them serious competition on the games front.

Microsoft won' t make any money from games, but they won' t be looking at it as losing money. They' ll be looking at it as buying marketshare.

I think Bill Gates has the same right to create a console like everyone else. But that doesnt mean he aint power hungry. But thats the bonus with him anyways.

I remember him sharing his love for how consoles worked, you could just put a game in, and it would play he said. Unlike with computers which you have to install the games on.

You know, as one of the few if not the only person with the access here at kikizo to have met Mr. Gates, i can tell you he' s a pretty nice guy, you would be surprised.

But his parents are lawyers, blame his upbringing, not the man.

So because he is kind he doesn' t like money?

Next time you meet him could you tell him there is a poor person in Sweden who goes by the internet alias dionysius, and he wants Bill Gates money.

Edit:
Oh, and I think Kutaragi likes money too.
Not Shiggy though. He gives all his money to orphans and sick people… and so he have to live in a box.

He runs a charity called the gates foundation that pays for the admiral theatre here in bremerton, and he attended the local warren miller film, one of those skiiing films.

We didn' t have beer or anything, but he seemed like a nice dude, when i told him how much i liked his xbox idea he talked about dragon' s lair, and how he' s always liked that game.

He didn' t attempt to harvest my soul, and he had very little security around him for such a wealthy guy.

Imagine the planets you could buy if you pickpocketed him?

Most of the Microsoft guys seem approachable and not very up themselves.

I would never like to meet these 3 down an alleyway:

Ken Kutaragi
Kaz Hirai
Phil Harrison

I think if i tried to touch him any more then shaking his hand and talking about the xbox, his huge samoan body guard would have turned me into a jacket.
