Yet here in the Microsoft Pavillion, one of the most crowded sections of the trade show, under banners trumpeting new advances in ease-of-use and productivity, neither court case dimmed the support of hundreds of Gates loyalists.

In row after row of personal computers featuring Windows software products of every description, from industrial automation to architectural support, 252 companies see themselves as living proof that the Windows business model is making money for more than just Microsoft.

These are companies that have started small, just as Gates did more than two decades ago, and have prospered writing programs that run on his Windows operating systems.

There is little love here for the idea of Government regulation or intervention. There is a pervasive hope that with perhaps just a little bit of luck and a strong dose of entrepreneurial sweat and labor, it is still possible to match the success of Gates, the nation's wealthiest person.
