Reminds me of John D. Rockefeller's agreement with shippers.Gates must have studied history.
Regardless, ultimately Microsoft lost the US antitrust lawsuit and is no longer dominant in the era of the Internet.
Much of the money he earned would end up funding good causes so I feel there is some justice in all of this.
