Equally hungry, equally miserable, equally ground down, equally dead. Not because he had a clue what the issues were, but because someone great was being cut down. There are many operating systems available other than his. His happen to be the most popular. For that, he should be applauded, not prosecuted.
Competition is fine, in other words, until someone starts to win it.
Again, Mr Gates deserves applause for being a winner, not prosecution for hurting the feelings of his competitors. Even if Mr Gates DID have a monopoly right now, he'd constantly have to look over his shoulder for the upstart young innovator who would outsmart him. The morons, however, want the government itself to act as monopoly-provider of everything. It's not monopolies they're opposed to, it's success. For that he is resented, even though the lives of untold numbers of people are enriched incalculably by what he has created.
