Queen to give knighthood to Bill Gates - but you can blame it on Gordon 
Brown

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and the world's
wealthiest man, is to receive an honorary knighthood for "services to 
global enterprise".

The recommendation that he receive the honour was made by the 
Chancellor, Gordon Brown. Buckingham Palace is expected to announce it 
tomorrow, when Mr Gates will speak at a conference on "Advancing 
Enterprise" organised by Mr Brown. . . .
