Of course, they didn't publish that info, but Gates was made a Dark Knight. You know, for tirelessly pursuing Evil in its many forms and his good 'ole Plots for World Domination. Now the heroes have a real, honest-to-god villain to cross swords with.

Only one question remains though. What special powers did Gates receive with this class change? Dark Knights get all kind of cool abilities and equipment to augment their scheming.

In any case, looks like mr. Gates can now shoot for that title of Evil Overlord for real.

Just because he is successful in life and is the richest man on earth
so people have to hate him? This is stupid. Enough of these sour
comments. he is evil all right but I doubt you wouldn't trade your
soul to be in his shoes.
Yeah

Bill Gates was required to visit the Queen in person to get his knighthood activated. The Palace has had problems with counterfeits showing up in the field recently. It is causing them great loss of revenue.

The product key for Bill's knighthood is:

Yep. Kind of ironic how the regional licensing won`t allow him to use his knighthood in the U.S.. Maybe he could upgrade to Canadian citizenship?

"One more thing Bill, before you go - could you take a look at my PC?"

"Your Majesty, do you have an internet connection? I'd kinda like to get this thing on eBay before we lose the spotlight."

"Now take your tea off of the tray and use this CD."
