You could meet the chairman of Microsoft, but you'll have to profess a passion for Windows first. Microsoft is looking for true stories about people using Windows computers to pursue a passion or hobby. The company plans to use them in a marketing blitz tied to the 20th anniversary of Windows' debut. To entice essay submissions, Microsoft is offering a number of prizes, including the chance to meet Gates in Seattle and appear in the ad campaign. Other prizes include an overseas trip with National Geographic Expedition, VIP access to a major movie premiere and a home makeover with an HGTV designer.
Essays must be 300 words or less. Extra points are given to essays that demonstrate the positive impact Windows has made on someone's life. Microsoft will select winners in five categories: culture and community, music, memories, home and lifestyle, and sports and games. To win, you must be at least 13 years old, live in the United States, and enter by Sept. 30. Microsoft plans to select winners in October.
My first experience with Windows was back when you had to stick a true floppy in to boot it up. Those were the ones that were about 6" cardboard floppies and ran on the machines that Bill Gates said "256k should be enough memory for any computer." I went on to teach computer and internet technology to fortune 500 companies and traveled the world to do it. It is safe to say that I am very familiar with all flavors of Windows and am considered expert level as botha user and educator. In all these years I am amazed that with each generation of Windows it still sucks.
Meeting Bill Gates would be such an amazing experience for me. Anyone who can pull off such a temendous scam as to convince anyone that Windows is even usable has to be one of the greatest con artists of all time. To this day I am amazed by his ability to pass of such an insecure pile of rubbish code to the point that some of his users even are deluded enough to think that Windows is actually competetive with the other operating systems. Bill Gates has to be one of the true genious liars of all time. Even today he has the press (including Cnet, especially cnet) arguing that vaporware that may or may not come out in two years is going to be competitive with Tiger that is already out. In computer years (kind of like dog years) that is like driving a 1956 Chevy against a new Ferrari while telling everyone that the new Chevy is going to blow it away. Amazing!
Your chances of meeting Bill Gates are most likely gone however I liked what You wrote so I'll meet ya, i might not have 300 billion dollars( hell I doubt I have 300 dollars!) and i cant plaster your face all over the world in some desperate attempt at gaining back some of the users he has lost to Linux ***TUX RULES!!*** but I can offer you a beer and the chance to continue living a good life and feel safe with the knowledge that when you die and meet your maker you were never the posterboy for the antichrist.

Gee, I'm AMAZED at the requirements of the site: what if I don't have all the gee-whiz hardware and software, but I'm doing amazing things with my old computer that have a hugely positive impact for my community. Sorry, I'm locked out... that's amazing.... and egalitarian
Bill Gates won't meet any little people, people who make a difference with what little they have. He'll probably meet the i-pod crowd with their wireless pdas, cell-phones and hot gizmos. message from <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.startsomethingamazingawards.com/no-flash.html" target="_newWindow">http://www.startsomethingamazingawards.com/no-flash.html</a>
