Trash articles like this infuriate me! The bottom line is that Microsoft has done society a huge service by establishing computing standards (particularly with interface). If it were not for this, business would still be operating in paper worlds because computers would still be this meancing beast to the vast majority of the workforce (save the relatively small technology segment).

All the attacks on Microsoft really and simply come down to jealousy... Gates realized the proverbial American dream. It's a basic human reaction to want what someone else has and if you can't have it, then tear them down. This article reads like a true blue conspiracy theroy... next I'll be reading that Gates is truly an ailien lifeform sent to take over the Earth. C'mon... is there any intelligently reasoning life out there?
