Gates is a wild card
Bill Gates is truely a wild card at this time and I will wait to see what time will tell. He was recently snubbed at a recent meeting of the rich and powerfull and I heard he did not take that well. There is also the anti trust case against MS that probably also had an effect on him. You have to remember that the biggest issue was his OS software was so cheap that other companies could not compete and part of the agreement with the group of state attorney generals was to raise the prices. Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of MS but for reasons within the software not based on competition and what I saw of the anti trust issue was a sham on the parts of the greedy states involved. So with all that has happened in the last years I would not be too quick to try to judge his motives for the future regardless of what one may think of his past.
