"We would ask you to respect Paul's privacy and not discuss this outside of the office."

Well...so much for that idea.

I wish him the best.

 

[gnice3d]

I agree, Bourgeoisdude ... Allen has done quite a lot for charities in his career. Kind of sad someone sold him out.

Hope he pulls through ok

Yes, PLEASE use the spell check, it doesn't take that much time. Good article, but please do double check your work, it pays off and goes a long way towards professionalism and shows pride in your work.

So, I heard that sometimes people get sick, and don't always live forever.

Yeah, I know, I was shocked too! Weird!

 

[bikeracer4487]

I don't get it...she asks them not to discuss it outside the office but simultaneously sends the memo to the media?

 

[soul555top]

Ugh I hate cancer.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Allen family. He has done great things for the City of Seattle.

 

[ssalim]

Um, does any one NOT hate cancer??

Haha, me too...if I ever met it in a dark alley I would kick its ass.

I saw that one right away. Microsoft Word 07 comes with Spell Check built in.

Really? No way...I had heard rumors that Microsoft had put some amazing new algorithm into Word, but I just shrugged them off as overoptimistic journalists. I never would've dreamed that Microsoft engineers would actually DO the impossible!

One day we all got to go!
Hope he didn't get it because of the stresses of ripping off people's money selling Windows more than 3x as expensive as it's worth!

He doesn't work for MS anymore, he started his own company, Vulcan. Yeah maybe he still holds some stock options, but I'm sure he's too busy with the Seahawks and Vulcan to care about MS. Get better and bring in some more wins.

 

[wildwell]

Hey hey hey.... please don't discuss this matter outside of the office!

you an asshole. You know nothing about him, do not hate because you think your cool.

I wish the best outcome for him and his family.

 

[buwish]

When it comes down to it, he's a nice guy, as he, like Bill Gates has given tons of money to charities and such over the years. Remember, business is business. I wish him a swift and successful recovery.

 

[Upendra09]

funny how he doesn't get much credit for founding Microsoft

I heard this yesterday on the Blazer game (he owns them).

Good luck, you can win the fight AGAIN, you're in our prayers.

"He also owns the Seahawks and is a big philanthropist."

Oh come on, how could list that but not that he also owns the Portland Trailblazers (my favorite team, go blazers!)? I hate how the NFL always has priority over the NBA.

But anyway, this really sucks, he's a great person and doesn't deserve this. It should've been Steve Jobs who got cancer 😛

You are a fuckwit.
No one deserves cancer.
Not even you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

One of the few people in the world I haven't met but still care about. Microsoft as a whole has made the world a better place.

Jody Allen is Paul's sister BTW. He's never been married.

Wish him a happy death.
