Personally, I think that microsoft's lame commercial tactics and general
lack of transparency are the source of the hatred.
I also think that the figure of William Gates III generates envy and
possibly frustration in most people, him being the aptheosis of success.
Maybe the youngsters hate him more
because a young Bill Gates is every parent's dream.
