Bill Gates gets my vote.
I bought a computer with Vista.

Set to a rather famous tune (I think you can guess which one)
Workin’ on a laptop, close to the end
Of a job I’ve been doin’ since half past ten
I don’t believe that it’s frozen again
The system has gone down-o, down-o, down-o
I don’t believe that it’s frozen again, the system has gone down-o

So I took it down to the help desk guy
I said, “Make it better, or I’m gonna cry”
He said, “I’m sorry, your computer has died
The data can no longer be found-o, found-o, found-o”
He said, “I’m sorry, your computer has died, the data can no longer be found-o”

To the roof with the laptop I did go
Over to the edge and I gave it a throw
And when it arrived seven stories below
It really made a mighty fine sound-o, sound-o, sound-o
When it arrived seven stories below, it really made a mighty fine sound-o

Well, that didn’t do enough to ease my pain
So I went down to Dulles and I got on a plane
Sayin’, “This is all Billy Gates’s fault
I’m gonna be trackin’ him down-o, down-o, down-o
This is all Billy Gates’s fault, I’m gonna be trackin’ him down-o”

Touched down in Seattle and got off the plane
Hit Starbucks to get out of the rain
Paid all o’ my dough for a thimble o’ joe
Full o’ foam and the cinnamon brown-o, brown-o, brown-o
All o’ my dough for a thimble o’ joe full o’ foam and the cinnamon brown-o

When the Gates found out about my plan
He packed up a bag, turned tail and ran
Megalo-man took it out on the lam
And hid way underground-o, ground-o, ground-o
Megalo-man took it out on the lam and hid way underground-o

Well, the Gates been a’runnin’ ever since that day
Thinks he can hide but he can’t get away
When I finally find his little skinny behind
Gonna kick it all over this town-o, town-o, town-o
Finally find his little skinny behind, gonna kick it all over this town.

Is it true
that Bill Gates has to have someone tap him on the back of the head repeatedly when he's taking off in an aeroplane? Someone told me this once. Something to do with his mild Aspergers and the fact he's got these weird OCD tendancies?

Could just be bollocks though.

Not only that
but the person whispers in his ear "You're only a man... you're only a man..."

(Let's see if anyone else is geeky enough to get the reference.)

EDIT: de-ris for those who want to cheat.

Was
that some Greek God that had someone repeatedly tell him that when people praised him?

Close.
A Roman general. He had a slave stand behind him and be a wet blanket so he didn't get hubris.

Bah! I knew that!
I could have been on here and earning kudos if it hadn't been for stupid real life getting in the way! Never again!

Personally
I find Win7 even worse.

One week I had that, and for that week I could do no development because M$'s own programming suite would install, but ignore any changes that I made to the code.

Thankfully, I only had it installed in a VM, so it was quick and painless to get rid of.

Yeah, sorry about that
You see, I'm a PC... and Windows 7 was my idea

Actually, it's not just Vista.
Its the long history of anticompetitive practices etc. Look here :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft

Gates had left when Vista came out
....that abortion of an OS was down to Steve "monkey dance" Ballmer
