I've found a few snippets here and there saying Bill Gates/Gates family may be Jews. Anyone know anything? What I heard is that the original name was Goetz and they hailed from Austria.
It would make sense in light of M$'s "software" and business practices.

That's funny, I was just wondering about that myself yesterday. ESP, anyone? :)
Anyway, your post reminded me of that question, so I did a search on Yahoo. The best I could come up with is a stupid joke called "If Bill Gates were Jewish". Here's the URL:
[url]http://www.zipple.com/jokes/billgates.shtml[/url]
I suppose that hardly qualifies as definitive evidence. However, "Zipple" is a Jewish website, and Jews like to pride themselves on recognizing the achievements of their fellow Tribesmen. Therefore, it seems reasonable to conclude that, if Bill Gates were indeed a Jew, then the above joke would not be circulating among the Jewish community.
That's my take on it, anyway. Maybe someone else here knows for certain.

He's not Jewish, people just call him Jewish cause they don't like him. He does look like the world biggest geek.
