seriously.

It would make virtually no difference in his bottom line if he played 1/2 NL or 1000/2000 NL at the end of the day.

To those of us that understand poker, agree.

To a majority of the uninformed investors in NASDAQ (MSFT) and general public, it might have an impact on stock price if Bill was known to play $1000/2000 NL. Incorrectly so, but may cause problems.

bill might make buggy software but he has a big heart, outside of business, and you gotta give him credit for that.

I was in the computer business from 1988 to 2001. DOS 3.1 to WinNT. You will never, ever get me to say anything good about Bill Gates. Anyone who was there--and wasn't made rich by Microsoft's business practices--would say the same.

I'd say the same thing about John D. Rockefeller, who kept dimes in his pocket to give to kiddies to improve his image. History repeated.
