    “Aside from 95% of the shit he did, I don’t see much harm from the other 5%.”

    Bill Gates’ anticompetitive behavior probably set the entire computing industry back a decade or more.

      Lol, as if. Computing industry limitations are still dictated by Hardware, which has advanced at the same rate it would have without Windows. Plus, the vast majority of servers run Linux, anyways, so all he did was be one of three or four firms that helped bring computing into people’s homes when otherwise it would have required more technical skills than anybody had in that time period.
