Well lets face reality now
Billy boy and Microsoft is the reason why we write this thread today. The reason why we make money the way we do. The reason the computer development has gone the way it has.
Without Microsoft we would all have our very own unique computer - none of which could EVER talk to each other on any net because there would be one zillion "standards". New hardware could only be set up if you could program you own drivers.
It would be like in the good old Commodore 64 days when you had to know your BASIC to make anything work.
That being said... I think it would be better to give the knighthood to me
