Gates' Greed (was: Nuke Redmond!)

Something I forgot to add in my last posting. While I don't see anything wrong with someone doing some of the things Gates did with using Microsoft to make a fortune, I should have added that I think that some of what he's done has also been inexcuseable - I don't understand how a company the size of Microsoft, with all those employees, is unable to produce an operating system that actually works properly and isn't a nuisance to use. Also, with regards to his persistence in pursuing monopolistic tactics: with his fortune, why doesn't the man just give it up, sell Microsoft to someone else, in whole or in pieces, and just enjoy life? Why does he keep working, at Microsoft, still trying to totally dominate the market, doing work that's of no real benefit to society? It's not like he's working at purshuing some sort of intellectual pursuit, which would make more sense to keep working at. It appears to be just plain greed... or, ok, to be kind, perhaps the poor man's got an obsessive/compulsive disorder he can't shake. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
