“Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and the world’s wealthiest man, is to receive an honorary knighthood for “services to global enterprise”.” Yeah, I know, I had to do a double-take on that one too.

The Telegraph article also states that “commercial success has led to hatred of him among his competitors.” This in the same week that Microsoft sucked it up and gave massively deep discounts to Newham Council to prevent them moving into a final rollout of an open source desktop system in association with IBM. This about a company who have attempted to paint open source as “un-American” and anti-Constitutional. Or was that Darl McBride? Ugh.

Hat tip to Martin for this post’s title.
