PS to my previous post:
TD, I worked in Seattle in the software industry, for companies that do business with Microsoft; I can assure you that I NEVER heard anything that would justify even starting to think that Bill Gates is evil.

Seattle owes a lot to him. And so does the software industry and a big chunk of the technologies that were developed following his leadership. What he created has been obsolete for years now, but what is being developed today would not be in existence today without him. Or at least not yet or not so advanced. He was a real trail blazer.
