Critiqued by: William Gates (William.Gates@microsoft.com) on Saturday, July 19, 2003 at 10:08:55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st_visit: yes use_windows: yes platform: Windows XP2 read_mission_statement: yes microsoft_employee: yes rating: poor comments: I am sorly dissappointed in the views expressed here, I have tried very hard to build a stable operating system, With the soo to be release of Windows XP2 we are dropping the NT base as we have heard from our reputable clientel is that they are not happy with the NT base. So in the time to come we will be releasing a non-dos oriented a fully intergrated operating system for the Personal Computer. As we have found that Windows XP has some issues that have to be contended with. Jim for your information, my staff are browsing your site alot to see what dissatisfied customers have to say and why they're saying it. This is the first time I *myself* have visited your site. I am very disspointed in the language, but I also understand that people are very annoyed with Microsoft operating systems.

kennyout Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 its fake...its well known that Bill Gates does not have a public email account known to the public...cause he was qouted as saying something like he used to read emails, then he got too many so he just basically forgot about it... also grammer errors/spelling....

Fedorpheux Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 also if you look up the IP address that was supposedly his (you can find it on the page that this was from) it is apparently from some company in toronto, canada, not seattle, washington...fake :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkaneda Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 bill gates would never write a word in a letter without it passing through 2 or 3 proofreaders and publicists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonik Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I thought his e-mail was billygates@microsoft.com. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachman123 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 bill gates would never write a word in a letter without it passing through 2 or 3 proofreaders and publicists. Or his own spell checker (word), so then again maybe the message is real :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_canada Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Bill Gates would never admit that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK1150 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 if bill gates knew about that site, within a week the domain would be redirected to windows xp support or something due to a lawsuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted January 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2004 yes, they're dropping NT in favor of... what? NT is the only platform they have now, since 9x will soon be dropped (should have been already :hmmm:) not to mention the horrendous grammar :x yeah, that's real (Y) btw, bill gates wouldn't send out an email like that, microsoft would. and the people who make those emails know how to write a stupid paper, unlike the 12 year old author of this POS :laugh: do you people honestly have the slightest thought that this could somehow be in any way possibly true in any aspect? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 LOL, it's definitely not real. Funny though, the whole site is crap to be honest. Totally. Here's just a few reasons why: 1) No Microsoft email address is more than six characters @ microsoft.com. Don't ask me why. 2) Bill's email address is billg@microsoft.com, not william.gates@microsoft.com; hence post #1 3) Bill does not post (in fact, his contract does not let him discuss) anything outside of official Microsoft press channels (in fact, all the Windows and Office dev teams have to agree to that too ... only the project leads can talk about the softwares) Shall I go on? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigl3bowski Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 i think the most obvious might be that i don't think any of us have ever heard of bill gates refering to himself as william. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3tt0 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I doubt if Bill Gates did browse websites, to complain/agree etc about them, he wouldn't write the e-mails. :pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanman Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Obviously a fake. With so many people hating Microsoft and complaints about Windows, why would Bill Gates spend his time writing/replying to one website. I don't think he really cares.

+Mud W1ggle Subscriber² Posted January 27, 2004 Subscriber² Share Posted January 27, 2004 dougkinzinger, how can you claim that no microsoft email address is longer than six chartacters? I have contacts at microsoft that use longer email addresses at microsoft.com all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guol Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 btw, bill gates wouldn't send out an email like that, microsoft would. and the people who make those emails know how to write a stupid paper, unlike the 12 year old author of this POS :laugh:do you people honestly have the slightest thought that this could somehow be in any way possibly true in any aspect? :huh: lol, yeh definitely fake. i dont think a genius like bill gates wood b dumb enuf to make sooo many spelling errors. plz, get a life. and i agree, there r so many unappreciative 1d10ts out there, who criticise windows (probably thru a windows computer) that i dont think bill wood spend (or shood i say waste) his time going to st00pid sites made by more unappreciative nuts (using his technology that they hate so much) and even bother to send feedbak. cmon, giv me a break ppl. and on emore thing: THAT IS TOTALLY FAKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
