The European Commission announced two more anti-competition investigations against Microsoft while there are already a couple against the same company going on and some millions the company pays for penalties month after month for the last four years.

The first is the good old Microsoft story with Explorer and if the company unfairly ties its Internet Explorer to its Windows Operating System. The funny thing in this case is that nobody questions the operating system itself that monopolizes all new computer sales, with the only exception being if you demand another operating system. The word 'demand' is right since all computer companies stick with 'Windows' whatever you say.

Whatever the results of this investigation for Microsoft and Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, the result is one and the same. Their profits are much too high to care, even if they have to pay some millions of euros every day - their profits are much, much higher. So here you have got bad-bad guy Bill Gates making more money with an operating system that has so many faults that it makes me often want to throw my computer out of the window - the window literally!

The new Windows Vista is the good all story, to be able to work properly with them you have to invest in a new computer and upgrade most of your programs; something that makes the decision to install them an expensive and serious one, I know I did it! And then after using them a bit you get the familiar blue screen that says that there is something wrong and …you lost everything! That minute you first break the damn thing in small-small pieces and then throw them out of the window, the window literally!

But then I had a similar conversation the other day with Asa on our weekly ‘Ovi Bad Boys show’ and Asa pointed that every time you click the Ctrl+Alt+Del button on your keyboard you might have fed some kids in Africa, since Bill Gates is one of the biggest spenders in the last few years in philanthropist causes and all that in a very modest way, since not many hear about that. Oh feel mercy, don’t tell me now that Bill Gates is Mother Teresa! The man is evil and I hate him!

The subject somehow monopolized the rest of our conversation and it all started from an article published in the New York Times that was talking about that exactly. Mother Teresa earned a sainthood for all the things she did, her good heart and her work among kids in Asia – I’m leaving aside her religious beliefs since what counts in the end is her actions – while the internet is full of sites, in all languages, saying one and only thing: how much they hate Bill Gates.

Still, Bill Gates in just a decade has done more for international hunger than any Mother Teresa would do in a series of lifetimes and not one. What made Mother Teresa be accepted as a saint and Bill Gates as the Devil? And, as I said before, I am one of those who think that the man is evil!

Was it the image of the old woman kneeling over the starving kids with the big belies? But Mother Teresa, while alive, was at the centre of a lot of controversy, people who had worked with her claimed that she was using them and treated them in the worst possible way and there were often left suspicions of racist behaviour.

Or is it the photo of a man, a nerd in tuxedo with a gold watch coming out of a limousine that attracts the envy and doesn’t let you see behind the black limousine? What other reason do we have to hate Bill Gates except that he found a way to do everything we all dreamed off when he was very young? He didn’t do anything wrong and we never heard anything controversial about him, nothing about using people or showing any kind of racist behaviour, on the contrary, the man is a good family man, good husband and excellent father.

Do you think Bill Gates will ever earn a sainthood? I mean after death. Will we ever hear of Father Bill Gates order? I doubt it, but it was a funny thought!
