I liked Word 5.1 and Excel 2(?) for Mac. And IE 5.1 was amazing when it came out, but then stagnated badly. Everything else, grrr.

> uhh NO
common consensus is that a billion dollars will get you about 100 million a year (EACH YEAR) in interest if invested correctly (10%). is that not enough? i could happily live off the interest of the interest of the interest.

no, thats not enough. im a firm believer in the theory that you spend what you make ie you make 10,000 a year, you'll spend 10,000; you make 1 billion a year, you'll spend 1 billion.well, i would anyway.

but sooner or later you'll run out of countries to buy 8)
i have trouble spending what i'm paid (which is substantially less than $1bn). the yearly interest on $1m is about twice my current salary (but i'm sure i could stretch to it). bill's shares are currently worth about $50bn, 50,000 times as much.

I'm not saying the next two years aren't critical for MS. They are. But the chances of the cards falling in the way the link above describes is about as accurate as me describing exactly how, where, and when the next major hurricane is going to affect the U.S...
..which is, um, it's going to strike just south of Brownsville TX as a Level 1, and create flooding issues in Monterrey, Mexico.
There. YOU HEARD IT FROM ME FIRST! I'M SAYING "I TOLD YOU SO" SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO...
