"I find the growing power of Microsoft scary, and Gates bloated personal wealth unacceptable." What a bunch of crap that article is. So? Who cares! Gates built a better mousetrap and that is his business, that is the American way Gussy boy. If you don't like it stay in Belgium. As a matter of fact I guess you will be staying there for a long time, unless of course you get picked up by the FBI.
