Why do you attribute everything to jealousy?
Could it be possible that people dislike Bill Gates or his
company, and none of that dislike is rooted in jealousy?
Some of us don't actually aspire to live his lifestyle.
Personally, if I was that rich, I would have retired a long
time ago, rather than continuing on with some sort of
deep-seated need to crush others.

But on the subject of the article, this is essentially a
meaningless honor given to a man of questionable
character. I know you'll see this as envy on my part, but
you might just want to look up the word "projection" in a
psychology textbook. Just because you'd love to be Bill
doesn't mean the rest of us must follow your lead.
