Lets also not forgot the decade and more that Gates, through sheer greed, set the IT industry back. I hope Microsoft withers and dies, and anyone employed by them, for their actions.
wow, that's extreme. I'm sure people working for msft back in the day had no idea what the bigger picture was. It's easy to say this stuff now (about msft setting the industry back etc) but when you're in amongst it you're just a cog in the machine. I'm sure most people working there just wanted to get paid and felt they were contributing to the biggest tech company in the world.
