The father of Microsoft is heading to Singapore! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to get away from work to attend this seminar. I do however, have a list of questions for Mr. Gates. Anyone who passes them along successfully will be rewarded with a mention in the local papers and at least 1 blog.

1) Have you ever been called Billy Goat by children?
2) Have you ever been called Billy Goat by Larry Ellison (Oracle's CEO) or Steve Jobs?
3) What on earth was Microsoft thinking when they codenamed Longhorn? Long and Horny?
4) Turning in 360 degrees brings you back to your original position. How's XBox 360 supposed to be different again?
5) How large (in terrabytes) is Microsoft's knowledge base of system bugs?
6) Where did the easter egg in older versions of Excel go?
7) Can you describe Linux in three words?
8) Microsoft have been blasted for failing to back gay rights. You are in the land where gays are reputed to have contributed significantly to HIV figures. Are you afraid?
9) If you had a say in Antitrust laws, what would you change?
10) Aim a deathray at one corporation. Which would it be?
