Hey at least the guy has created thousands of jobs and helps spark the economy.
Naw, if he didn't have a monopoly on the operating system, office software, internet browser, etc of consumer PC's there would be many more companies with competing software, hence more jobs. Spark the economy? Take another hit, dude... Damage the economy is more like it...



I don't think having a monopoly is necessarily bad, however Gates did use some pretty horrible business practices to achieve his goals...

Gates is a successful businessman and he's fucked a lot of people to get where he is. So do a lot of other successful businessmen. He's just fucked more people harder than anyone else, and he's looking to do you next!
