Sir Bill?
According to Reuters, Bill Gates is going to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II "for his outstanding contribution to enterprise". Aargh. So he'll be Bill Gates, KBE. At least we won't have to call him Sir William (that honour is reserved for Brits).
On the other hand I suppose it could turn out for the better. I'm thinking of how the ceremony could go if it were Elizabeth I, as depicted in Blackadder II, doing the honours...
Elizabeth I: Arise, Sir oops...(slips on the steps)
Bill Gates: Aaach! (cut short as razor-sharp sword snicks his head off)
Nursie: Ointment - that's what you need when your head's been cut off.

You can hope but in the end Microsoft still probably controls the bed you sleep on the dreams you have a night.
