Because once you've thought about to wipe out Bill Gates and Windows
While we all thought at some point, especially after one of the jugarretas that Windows (any version) will play regularly, in fact no one has gone to throw a pie in the face to the creator of the fun of the windows operating system. However, something that not many people know is that we can adjust the accounts to a famous couple-man program in the game XBill.
A lively game in GNOME XBill to under Linux
XBill is a fun game that open source was very popular in the 90s. In it, a character named "Bill" tries to install "Wingdows," a virus "cleverly designed to mimic a very popular operating system," in computers as PCs with Linux and BSD, SPARCstations with Solaris, SGI IRIX, Macs Apple, Palm Pilots and NeXTcube.
Using the mouse will "crush" Bill and return the original operating system for these teams. At the end of the game will win points for each computer that holds your operating system. In advanced levels computers are networked locally so that Windows can spread faster. Some machines can even catch fire, which will have to settle echándoles over buckets of water.
XBill, originally written for X-Windows, was ported to many other systems: OS X, NeXTStep, Wingdows (twice), BeOS, Java, iPAQ (linux-arm), AmigaOS4.0 and how could it be less. PalmOS ( downloadable PalmGear).
Playing PBill, XBill for Palm
As a curiosity, commenting that one of the creators of XBill is the Chilean Matias Duarte, who as I read in FayerWayer years later designed the famous mobile phone / PDA Sidekick, also known as Danger HipTop, which we have so often seen in movies.

In closing, just to make it clear that the tone of this post is humorous, very bad for anyone operating system that has created deserves it stamped as a fly, and Bill Gates deserves all our respect, because it takes a lot of skill, luck, dedication , Luck, foresight and luck to get to where he had arrived.

I played it a few years ago .. and well, have long used Windows and not a little strange fun of crack programs, Linux can not be ..
The phone seems rather a UMPC. Sometimes I would like my palm and had a keyboard.
Bill came to what is not so lucky, but being a Reverend HDP, norms need to see Pirates of Silicon Valley or read one of many anecdotes, the guy is the typical corporate player taken to the extreme, fucked a lot of people in the way ... and so did not want to eat anything that comes from his company.
Now that Windows odiarlo go wrong ... in short, any OS has its problems. I also 100 times more reset my Palm TX that my machines running Windows or Linux.
And I also played the game that, indeed, must have been one of the first programs that ran the first times that I installed Linux
Wow that fantastic game! I'm going to install to llevarmelo Holiday Greetings ....
I agree with the previous comment. Bill Gates is a HDP because the force of strategies to get ugly and not by skill or intelligence itself.
I find it extremely unfair that this man has become the richest man in the world when in reality all the merit should be the MAC and not from Microsoft. Only thing that achievement is to make a monopoly and that people in this way would not be free to choose a good operating system such as the MAC because it always ends HDP requiring you to install your shit on your Windows machine.

Hang ESE game Give TO HAVE AND TO BILL
The business world is so, it is not the one who has the best product or best intentions to win, but the more skillful to be imposed on others by any means whatsoever. Pure capitalism and hard, what we see every day ...
Certainly the most comprehensive site on the Chevrolet Camaro
By the way ... The game runs on palm TX? I hang up the device each time you want to start the game.
It is only fair that the Vil Gates is the richest man in the world. Since only someone can get very very clever in that throne. What is not fair is that given the Principe de Asturias prize to the most generous, yes it is not fair.
