Oh the irony- Apple has adopted many policies and business practices that are arguably worse than some of the criticism of Microsoft. However the bottom line is that both of these companies (and their former CEOs) were doing what was best for the company, not what was necessarily best for the consumer.

I don’t understand why anyone would expect anything less of either. No tech company exists solely for the betterment of mankind. They need to be competitive and stay on top or die trying. I don’t like everything Bill did as CEO (nor Jobs at his Apple camp), but I understand that in most cases, it had to happen that way. Because they aren’t in the business of doing everything I want.

Now Mr. Gates no longer works in the commercial tech world. Now he is no longer obligated to be a ruthless business man. Now we get to see the real Bill Gates- as a human being.

Mr Gates, on behalf of the human race I’d like to apologize for all the hatred.
