Look... Microsoft, no matter how folks hate it, is the American dream come
true. You may not like the way the do business. 50 years agao people were
screaming about Hearst, before that about the railroad barons.
The fact of the matter is that Gates, prick though he may be, had the best
damn business mind around, used it correctly and squashed the competition.
If THAT isn't American, nothing is.
The problem here is NOT Gates. It's the whining "He has it and it's not
fair" people.
