Thank you.
Gates was known as an acquisition guy. M$ did very little innovation. Gates and his lawyers had one or more teams of people who were always looking at the latest software offerings, and when they found something of note, would alert Gates. He, in turn, would send his cutthroats to make an offer: sell at pennies on the dollar or we’ll bury you with a knock-off that we can sell to undercut you and destroy you. Take it or leave it.
Frequently, the acquisition would include employment for the acquired asset’s top management and/or technical talent.
Gates is a ferocious businessman, and seems to have neither conscience nor scruples. Fitting that he acquired Fauci along the way, isn’t it?
“Fitting that he acquired Fauci along the way, isn’t it?”
Yes.
