On the other hand OS X on the Mac is a relatively robust and usable platform and Windows on the PC still sucks for many users (I'm two days into a Windows rebuild at the moment). It's swings and roundabouts. Gates and MS made good calls and they made bad calls, Jobs is the same. For me I think Bill did OK, while I can imagine some using that sort of power in a more altruistic way, I can also see many doing far far worse things with it.
