The world's richest man talks about developing new drugs to combat AIDS, open-source software and why Microsoft's still cool after all these years. Gates: "We encourage everyone to develop in our environment. Free software's nothing new... There was an early browser, an early mail program. But as times moved on, it's been the commercial programs that get the support, get the richness."

MS has 7 business devisions before reorganizing their business groups last couple months.
5 out of 7 are loosing money (MSN, XBOX, ..etc) and only two are making money, windows and office.
how did the two business become successful? by racketeering and monopoly.
In MS world, Al-Capone is a great business man.

The only reason they have been successful is because of their racketeering practices and their practicing of appealing judgments over and over and over and over until either the company that sued them went bankrupt or gave up.
They've never innovated. Everything they have is a copy of someone else's technology.
Anyone that think MS is cool because they want to suck up to "the richest person on earth" is pathetic.
Believe it or not. I've toned down and abbreviated what I felt like saying.
