I really hope we can go quicker to a time when "lobbying the government" is no longer accepted as a standard business practice, but a strong signal of corruption and foul play. If that would be Gates' biggest mistake (and it ain't) then the guy would be a flesh-and-bone saint in the tech community. I can see, however, why MS would be in a downspiral course with senior executives holding such opinions.
