Re: Rainman Vs Justice Department William H. Gates - CEO Microsoft Corporation Redmond, WA The more I see Bill Gates video taped testimony the angrier I have become. As an MSFT investor I sat and wondered why Bill chose not to seek the advice of TV consultants with regard to his behavior and appearance. While I can appreciate his taking time with each question to formulate a concise answer, what is the rocking back and forth about! Is the most innovative and humanistic company to come along in the last 100 years run by Rainman? We saw what demeanor and appearance did for the Nixon and Kennedy debate! Bill, either you feel as though being the richest man on the planet you can come off any way you feel or you really aren't aware of what your doing and the people around you are too afraid to tell you your looking like a dork in the video. Either way your messing with the rest of us who are small investors who have kept the faith hoping some day to be larger players. I'm a small investor and so I expect you to not only be the leader of the greatest corporations but to make some consideration for the people (Investors) who have put undivided faith through dollars in Microsoft! The main point in this litigation in this: Microsoft was the first to bring the world software that even Grandma could run and afford while the rest of the companies IBM, SUN, NEC, UNIX and others were busy digging deep into corporate pockets or over-charging the private sector. You come along and offer us solutions and affordability. Then through your innovation in the new Net medium you give us free software which your competitors with and the lobbied partisan help in the justice department try to sue you! This does not serve me as an American consumer! This is the point that as an American consumer the justice department wants us to pay for your browser when you have offered it to us for free. I have been running both browsers, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator at the same time on my machine for several years now and don't see what Netscape in whining about! Both run fine! And the Operating System is friendly to either browser. I have as a result of this lawsuit sold my NSCP, SUNW and AOL shares and taken all Netscape products off of every workstation in our company and all of its affiliates. I am trying to do my little part and expect you Bill to do as much as you can to strengthen the cause. Even if it means taking some acting classes! Thank you for your time and attention.
