Gates has been mentioned on the show before, having once punched Sheldon for criticizing Windows Vista, but he’s never appeared in person. The chances of Sheldon saying something dumb again — he suggested that Gates’s focus on philanthrophy was the reason Vista had problems — seem extremely high. Read more…
