NP Gates WAS RE: Nazi ideology

[Doug Millison]

Paul Mackin said, "I don't suppose Hitler wanted to lose any more than Bill
Gates wanted to be broken up. However great success can cause great
blindnesses and unavoidable mistakes in judgement (it would seem)."

I don't think blindness or unavoidable mistakes have anything to do with
Microsoft's crimes -- eyes wide open all the way. In the course of my work
as a journalist, I had a chance to spend several hours with Bill Gates back
in '92. He was pugnacious, belligerent, completely full of himself, and
unabashedly proud of his goal to crush all competition; he was also filthy:
unwashed hair flaked with dandruff, eyeglasses smudged and filmy. On
another occasion, I spent about an hour talking with Steve Ballmer, Gates'
No. 2 -- another bully. Ballmer is the one who apparently described, on
network television, Microsoft's approach to doing business as B.O.G.U. --
Bend Over, Grease Up.
