Bill Gates did nothing wrong and got rich.

I assume you are not in the software industry. Actually there pretty much isn't a software industry except for Microsoft. In another decade that too will be dispersed to India and China, but of course the dollars will flow back to Gates.

It's not so much that Gates did something wrong, it's inherintly unstable to amass complete power over an industry in one place. We pay for it in the things you don't see even more than the things you do. Checks and Balances all more than one concept of innovation to be tried.

msft was properly found guilty of committing several crimes.

If you do not have extensive experience using, netscape, IE and mozilla browser you really cannot understand the predatory damage msft did and the delay msft forced upon all consumers.
