For Gates, a knight to be remembered
The Foreign Office announced early on Monday that Gates will become a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. This is one of the highest honors that Britain can bestow upon those born outside the United Kingdom.
"Microsoft technology has transformed business practices and his (Gates') company has had a profound impact on the British economy," the foreign secretary, Jack Straw, said in a statement.
According to The Sunday Telegraph, the chancellor, Gordon Brown, recommended that Gates, whose personal fortune is estimated at $40 billion, should receive the award.
