NICE article about how EVIL he really was, and counterproductive force in the computing world, all for the sake of building his monopoly.

They say it's not nice to kick a guy when he's down but how about kicking him when he's retiring? Seems to me that that's fair game. In case you haven't noticed there's been a lot of media coverage about <A href="http://www.extremetech.com/topic/0,2944,t=Bill Gates&s=27860,00.asp" title="Bill Gates">Bill Gates</A> retiring from <A href="http://www.extremetech.com/topic/0,2944,t=Microsoft Corporation&s=27860,00.asp" title="Microsoft Corporation">Microsoft</A> and quite a lot of it has been more than a little fawning. Well it's time to set aside the fanboy accolades and cut to the truth about Bill Gates.

Bill Gates' reign at the top of tech plunged the <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="6342351">computing</A> world into a new dark age that only the Internet, <A href="http://www.extremetech.com/topic/0,2944,t=Apple Inc&s=27860,00.asp" title="Apple Inc.">Apple</A>, Google, and Linux have begun to liberate us from.

Gates' <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="6416121">operating system</A> products were second-rate copies of more elegant, stable, and technologically superior products such as Mac OS, Linux, and Unix.

And it's not coming a moment too soon. So much damage has been done by Gates and Microsoft that it will take the computing world years to finally escape their grasp.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2FBF0EC3-FFE8-462B-B879-71E35D35F9E0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
