Bill Gates neurotic impulses do not define just deserts or morality. Obviously, he could have limited his wealth producing activities, at any time he wished. This attitude is just plain silly, and contributes nothing whatsoever of value to any debate.

Reason Or Compulsion?

Everyone who followed his patent poaching antics in the eighties (chronicled in BYTE and in PC Magazine) agrees that he shouldn’t be that rich. And he owes restitution to a lot of people who didn’t have the money to defend their intellectual property in court.

The man is a parasite, amongst his other attributes.

He can take his moribund wealth and put it where the sun don’t shine

He should make reparations for forcing us to buy new computers every full years.....computers that make our old software obsolete.

OK Bill, I will take a billion dollars if it will help you feel better, heck I'll take two billion if you need me to; just trying to help.

What a maroon!

Those of us who used Windows Vista agree.

most rich either inherited their money or were risky deal makers or hit it big with rock music or the movies, where a lot of the "stars" slept their way into roles....

the rich are not smarter than us.

but they are less moralistic and ethical, are willing to go bankrupt on other people's money and use the good old boy network, with special deals, with the govt...

they are not better than us.....

Hey Bill- Lead by example- Hypocrite- “You would... but” Set an example for everyone- go back several decades, and pay 70% Taxes- no exemptions- then maybe folks will take you seriously-

“I don’t deserve what i have...but”

Yeah right-

Hiring H-1bs and ruining software as a career for Americans. $20B

Creating terrible software and stifling competition. $50B

Crying that you don't deserve your billions. Priceless.

You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

I read that on an airplane, once.

Yep. The history of Microsoft’s rise is littered with the bodies of those who innovated and got bought out or bankrupted by him. Names like WordPerfect Corp. and Great Plains Accounting software, just to name two.

I can liberate him from his filthy lucre. I even promise to spend the billions for the glory of God! 😉

To be accurate it was the interface(WYSIWYG) that they “stole”.

Start by giving me half of that, as reparation for the mess you call Windows 10, which broke many things that were just barely acceptable in Windows 7. You can never compensate me enough for Windows 98.

A large percentage of all malware damage and anti-virus spending can be attributed directly to IE integration done specifically to screw over Netscape. That’s another one I can identify in the extremely large pile of bodies left in MS’ wake.
