We are certainly on a plateau with job losses on the unemployment map.

The map is almost all black. What’s the next color to use?

Bill, please stick to computers and what you know. When you live in a house the house of a large mall and have people fawing over you all the time and have cocktail parties with the elite, you lose a little perspective on what’s going on outside the ivory towers and presidential palace.

Plateau of socalism ? .

Wake up America. Just because one invents or starts up a company doesn’t bestow upon him a keen insight into the US economy. Gates is a leftist commie moron who is simply carrying the water of the Obama crowd and therefore trying to calm the storm that is definitely Obama’s failures.

when gates stops hiring those best and brightest from abroad and employs and trains the best and brightest legal American citizens for jobs at MS, then I might start to listen to what he has to say…and Thor you are absolutely dead on with your analysis….

This piece of human filth invested a billion dollars in INDIA. He and his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is about destroying all that is good in the US.

Well, I didn’t say all the time.

I’m guessing ole Billy Boy’s insights on the economy are no more reliable than windows vista.

The only thing Bill knows how to do is be a convicted monopolist. Bill’s motto: “Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish”

Sure would like to strip the dweeb of His couple billions of dollars for six months, and ask Him what He has to say about what He thinks of the economy then.

TO BILL GATES ON WINDOWS & OTHER THINGS "NOT GETTING A LOT WORSE"   December 2nd, 2009 - 4:24 am

Yeah, that’s like saying ‘WINDOWS WON’T GET A LOT WORSE’!!!!!!!!!!!

IT CAN *ALWAYS* GET WORSE… REMEMBER WINDOWS 3.1? IT WASN’T TOO BAD AS A SEGUE FROM DOS! THEN THERE WAS WINDOWS 95… A LITTLE BETTER, MAYBE! THEN CAME WINDOWS 98; THAT THING WOULD NEVER SHUT OFF PROPERLY BUT WAS STILL A FAIRLY “SIMPLE” SYSTEM… THEN CAME WINDOWS 2000, AND IT’S STILL PROBABLY THE B-E-S-T VERSION THEY’VE EVER COME OUT WITH. THEN CAME WINDOWS XP… AND HAIR-PULLING DAYS LIKE YOU NEVER BEFORE ENDURED. AND THEN, THE MOTHER OF ALL SOFTWARE-DEMONS, WINDOWS V-I-S-T-A !! WHAT A PIECE OF S-H-I-I-I-I-T-T-T!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU WOULD THINK THEY COULD *AT LEAST* HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAINTAIN A HALFWAY DECENT S-E-A-R-C-H FUNCTION IN VISTA, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
VISTA IS ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS… AND IT *NEVER* STOPS ITS DISK-GRINDING, NO MATTER HOW MANY FUNCTIONS YOU DISABLE!!!
:-(((((

YEAH, BILL, US OLD-TIMER WINDOWS-USERS *REALLY* PUT A LOT OF STOCK IN ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY… nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooootttttttttt!!!!!!!!! :-(((((((
