Friends, Microsoft fans, country men....

Lend me your ears, for I have come to praise BillG. BillG is the single most important person in the history of the world. I am not just talking IT here, I am talking the entire world. BillG enabled us to move into a world of connected devices. Microsoft invented the Internet and most of the communications protocols that we use today. Suites like TCP/IP would not be around today if BillG did not decide to include it with NT 4.0. Word processing, spreadsheets, gaming, mobile phones, the list goes on and on. My rep invited me to watch the Bil Gates Roast at Microsoft. Although I am not guaranteed a seat at the roast itself, I know I don't need one. BillG's aura is enough to fill up the entire campus. My rep and I will toast to BillG several times as I deploy Windows 7 pre-alpha builds on my home network this weekend.
