Bill Gates wipes his butt with more money than that!

 

 

 

I thought bill gates no longer ran microsoft?  He was last stated as running a non-profit organization to help the disadvantaged.  Shareholders are the new bosses over in redmond, california.

He doesn't run Microsoft.  That has nothing to do with what Garnett said other than he USED to be a part of MS.  I think he just meant that as the world's richest man, Bill Gates could in fact do what he said

 

 

Okay what I mean is the 388 million has "nothing" to do with Bill Gates, he is "no longer" part of microsoft.  So what he does with his cash was not relevent to the conversation (was my point).  Plus Bill Gates is "not" the worlds richest man, he dropped to number three last year (this depression is hurting everyone I guess LOL)

He is the worlds richest man.  Went back up to number 1 this year.

Seems like your the only one trolling... but maybe thats just my opinion.

It is your opinion.  Seems to me like he's fighting off the trolls with facts.

 

 

Not really though. It is hard to tell when people are joking ot serious on the internet. That is why sometimes there is conflicting views on the same thing. I just saw it as a harmless joke with some truth. If MS makes another Halo then that $338 would be a peice of cake to get back. Though I guess someone with the name NES might have been stealth trolling. Either way it isn't that big of a deal to call it out.



FootballFan - "GT has never been bigger than Halo. Now do a comparison between the two attach ratios and watch GT get stomped by Halo. Reach will sell 5 million more than GT5. Quote me on it."

It's just that simple.

The cost of a good education, I guess. Hope they learned something.

I,repeat:''M$'' is no ''sony'',.his   financial status is better,...

standard and poor financial rating

Sony Corp. (Sony; A-/A-2) 

Microsot corp. 'AAA'.

Not only does that bearly leave a scratch when you look at MS's total wallet, but if they just make another Halo game, it's like they didn't lose sqwat, XD
