There is a profile of Bill Gates, focussing mainly on MSFT and his reaction to the trial, in the New Yorker (I'm catching up on this summer's NYer's). It's a bit off-putting, as Ken Aluetta, the writer, portrays Gates as unwashed-hair socially inept geekish and volatile, while at the same time being brilliant and beyond his years as a businessman. But he renders him unlikeable. I met and interviewed Gates some years ago and didn't find him like the portrait. I feel it's a bit of a hostile caricature. But who knows, I'm a loyal MSFT fan.
