I really wouldn't guage a company based on the worth of the original founder... during his day Nelson Rockerfeller (sp) (of Standard Oil fame) was worth much more then Bill Gates is today - even though his hiers are not worth as much as Gates, today the post-monopoly companies are respected just the same. The normal investor has no control on the worth of the founders, their compensation packages could be significantly different.... perhaps Oracle shares the wealth better; we all know that Microsoft hires temporary employees to circumvent the profit sharing, benefits and retirement issues. Get over it about comparing Ellision to Gates when comparing Oracle to Microsoft... compare the product offerrings because that is what I care about. I like Microsoft's Desktop products (Office, NT and few other items) but prefer Oracle's RDBMS compared to Microsoft's .... used them both and believe me Oracle's database is much easier to use (not to mention it performs better). Want to compare product give me a call... want to fault people for being worth 7+ billion compared to 50+ billion count me out!
