You know, in the 90s and early part of the last decade, I felt way too bitter about Bill Gates. I didn't like Microsoft's business practices and I certainly didn't like their software. Being young and full of piss & vinegar, I seethed with rage.
Now I'm older and Bill Gates has become one of the public figures I most respect. He's changing the world in ways that matter far more than Steve Jobs or Michael Dell ever did. Schultz and the rest should be jealous of him.
This a man who talks seriously and realistically about eliminating malaria. How does selling more or better enterprise software begin to compare with getting up in the morning and knowing that what you do that day will give thousands of children a chance at life?
