I still believe that the anti-trust case against Microsoft completely changed the course of history.

Microsoft was left a shell of its former self, a wolf without fangs, tired and exhausted from a battle of attrition, with the biggest casualty being Gates himself who lost the inner drive to lead such a huge company.

I do hope he plans to write a detailed biography one day, so that we can see what his thought process back then was.

Apple wouldn't even exist honestly today if the anti-trust case wasn't launched against Microsoft.

That is the very reason I cannot wait for Apple to get launched with its own anti-trust, who knows what company will come to take it's mantle.
