How does the World’s Richest Man Work?
Filed in: Interesting, Microsoft — April 7th, 2006
Bill Gates, Microsoft’s chairman and the world’s richest living person, tells you how he works.
Bill Gates in his office. Note the three big LCD monitors behind.
Bill Gates’ tools
Bill Gates has a paper-less office. He has a desktop PC, three LCD monitors (sync as one desktop), wireless mouse, and a webcam. In terms of software, Bill Gates uses only Microsoft products such as Outlook, SharePoint, OneNote and Communicator.
My two cents
In the interview, Bill Gates sounds like he was promoting Microsoft products. Nevertheless, I agree with him on…
Once you have that large display area, you’ll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.
I am using dual monitors for my workspace but I want more! Read about my ideal workspace.

He looks tired and of course he’s ONLY used Micro$oft products lah. Maybe ask him add another Linux OS desktop…

he had another tablet on his hand and the side of him seems like another tablet/laptop
this is because he is the richest guy in this technology world…..how can someone else afford that and keep those hardware up to date

I dun think he work. Else he is telling us, only suckers bought printers, or better option is to burn those papers for the sake of powering the computers.
Frankly, he got all he needed to run the whole corporation. He got an OS which he can order an immediate fix. He got excel, to watch his money grows, heck MS money, remember? Word to write some thing, Media player for checking the MS promo and outlook to order ppl around.
Now with win mobile he can order his gnome around with flicks of his thumb.
He dun need to bother about how good the servers are. what is the best algorithm to get things going. If he got virus attack, heck ask his top engineer to create and antivirus and recover it.
+ to outline vista? One note and a pen is enuf to draw it out. (ever u wonder y vista is late?)
Do u think he work? Of course, y u think those MS products get made and ppl gone crazy to make him richer?

I’d laugh if he had a Mac running in the back. Like if he had a MacBook Pro sitting on his desk. lol.

If he would try Mac or Linux, wonder what will happen…

That one on his hands should be an UMPC

He got linux-windows lab oso what?
April 10th, 2006 at 11:13 am
He use windows lab to attract more windows fan who pays to make him richer. MSWinV will be genuine only, pay up or else. Pirates beware MSWinV will home u like smart bombs. WinXP is not update for security for the pirates, not feature. I leave u to think about the security updates for pirated WinV.
He use linux lab to create more open source viruses/worms/trojans.

Of course he can get by using only MS products… he doesn’t work… he just sits around and counts his money. You could do that with an Abacus. If we were designing, he’d surely need some adobe in there or something, or actually writing code?!…. what? he’s suing Notepad, or word? Last I checked VI wasnt MS. This is a testament to his uselessness, not his loyalty, or the diversity of his products. (and if the man actually uses IE… WTF?! He’s retarted? he hasnt noticed that it sucks? What? I….. I….. nevermind. )

His workplace is very neat, must be a very efficient guy. Must learn from him how to manage the housekeeping well.

@Jessica: I don’t think Gates has the free time to do housekeeping
