Jedi_Vogel Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 No offence right, but "Contribution to Enterprise"? Contributions such as - Locking out competitors - Making a "user friendly" version of windows which actually means "you'll use it the way MS wants you to" - Charging a fortune for products when others can do it for cheaper you know, the list goes on but very few merit a Knighthood. Makes me ashamed to be British sometimes it really does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcelsioN Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 What I don't understand is why our queen is knighting him when he probably didn't even think about britain when he was thinking up Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why you are dissing him. I would bet that most people here don't use DOS or something other than windows for an operating system. I say if it simplifies things, more power to it. Anyways, I MEAN WTF WAS THE QUEEN THINKING? Maybe a little under the table action going on around there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Vogel Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Yeah you can be a non-British Knight - you just are "honoury" (correct spelling escapes me).
