Bill Gates received an honourary Knighthood from the Queen today at Buckingham Palace. The BBC reports:[The story]Mr Gates, 48, the world's wealthiest man, said it was "a great honour" to be recognised for his business skills and for his work on poverty reduction.
The Queen had spoken to him about using computers, he said after a private audience with her.
As an American citizen he cannot use the title "Sir" but will be entitled to put the letters KBE after his name.

Yep, at least Bill Gates isn't a tight git, and actually puts half of his fortune into his charity. And like them or hate them, M$ still started a revolution.
