He is the savior of western civilization and the king of the war against the technological rebel armies(i.e. Linux, Perl, losers), and for those two things along he deserves this. It's a shame the U.S. doesn't have something similar. March 1, 2005 11:49 AM
	Derick Bailey said: Nope, he's not royalty and not even allowed to be called "Sir" Bill Gates. Only citizens of the British Empire are allowed to use the title "Sir". His title will simply be William Gates III, KBE (Knight of the British Empire) March 1, 2005 12:56 PM
