    It's really nice to see a person who dropped out of school and do something innovative!

    I'm a total Bill Gates fan since childhood and this guy really impresses me in the way Microsoft Corporation stands today.

    Microsoft today offers hundreds of products from Windows, Office, XBox, MSDN, TechNet, Windows Live and even games.

    Warren Buffet supposed to be on top, but the losses he made last year make him at #2 position.
