    Sir William Gates?

    "According to an article in the Telegraph Bill Gates is going to be knighted by the Queen of England for "services to the global enterprise." She's just handing them out like candy these days!"

        FYI, he can't use 'Sir' as he is an american citizen, he can however use the initials KBE after his name to denote Knight of the British Empire

            exactly, it would be an honorary thing and he wouldn't be a Sir. Just like Spielberg.

            Gates has put a lot of money into the Reading and Cambridge areas of the UK. It is just like giving someone the key to the city. We are talking MAJOR amounts of money put into cambridge.

                            Bill Gates was a programmer, having worked on both Microsoft Basic and PC-DOS, which both had significant impact on the microcomputer industry.

                            Windows stole the idea from Apple, but Apple stole the idea from Xerox.

                            The queen doesn't give a shit anyway, it's about the money.
