It is with mixed emotions that I watched this, because as much as Microsoft has done to fight opensource and competing technologies, Gates did more than anyone to provide mass access to GUI interface technologies. Windows, for all the bloat that has become Vista and each succeeding generation, gave access to ordinary people and the licensing model he forced on IBM turned pc's into machines that people could afford; which is the main fault that Apple couldn't fix.
I hate what Microsoft has become, but deep inside I still admire Gates.

Mike: It does have to be remembered that Gates Slayed IBM.
