i dunno if it's so much of a case of me missing the point... or others resenting a guy who takes the ball and runs with it...
who told Gary Kildall to go fishing the day that IBM was looking for an OS...
who told Digital to shrink away when Bill threatened to sue em for infringement on look and feel issues... when those issues weren't his to claim violation against in the first place...
who told everyone to buy windows 1.0 before it were being bundled to oem manufacturers...
Bill is just a smart geek, who also happens to be a smart businessman as well... he's done nothing but make computers accessible to the masses... on many levels... and all while protecting his business interests with a passion...
if Xeorox people were smart enough, you be running ParcPlace on your PCs today, and Bill would be another also ran in the industry... don't blame good ole Bill because only he and Jobs saw the business potential and were quick to exploit it...
hey... this is a shining example of capitalism... free enterprise...
i can't see why there is so much animosity towards poor Bill... he just did what he was supposed to...
and now, he's giving back a lot to the world that made him the icon he is today... what's wrong with that...
would any of us be as morally and ethically responsible if we were in his shoes... ask yourself truthfully...
