As opposed to the platter Bill's father used to hand things to Bill?
William Gates, III was already loaded. He took a leave of absence from Harvard to see if this software thing would work out, but his back up plan was to go back.
I don't think anyone is going to dispute that Bill Gates didn't work hard or isn't intelligent. The man was doing graduate level work as an underclassman.
But his risk for leaving Harvard and starting Microsoft was laughably low.
And I think Bill would recognize the vast amount of privilege he's benefited from in his life. I mean, that's part of what the article is about.
