Bill Gates giving IRS a hard time

I bet every morning he bathes in a platinum tub filled with Kristale, surrounded by the members of Aerosmith singing him "Sweet Emotion"

man, i hate Bill Gates... but i hate the IRS more.

get 'em Bill!

If it's a windows machine, I wonder does it have 'Automatic Update' and 'Remote Desktop' enabled...
Perhaps Bill could get a larger rebate than normal...

can he claim a business expense for building that computer?

Bill Gates could buy Lamborghinis like they were on the value menu at Wendy's.

Instead he chooses to lead the world in philanthropic activity focused on education and health matters. Damn him.

"I estimate that upgrading to Windows Vista will cost roughly 99 Lamoghinis."

This is actually funnier than one might think. Largely the IRS rely on AS/400 and iSeries (now called System i5) boxes running multiple operating systems - RPG OS/400, COBOL, and AiX.

Not surprisingly, in other news, Microsoft has undertaken marketing and sales efforts to encourage users of AS/400 iSeries to migrate to Windows Server. Perhaps this is Bill's personal sales effort.

i must humble myself here and say:

well said! so true.

that leads one to believe that Gates is the one who leaked this story. briliant!

You tell 'em!

I don't know if this is true, but I heard once that when he built a huge mansion, the town or county that it was built in had to switch to a linux system, because the windows box they were using up until that point could not handle the huge influx of building permits, blueprints, etc.

that has a very "bullshit" ring to it.

i don't know for a fact... but working in construction most my life, i find that very, very unlikely.

Haha, Bill Gates - you kick ass.
