One of the carefully orchestrated PR articles at the height of the investigations into Microsoft. Even in the early '90s, Microsoft were operating at genius level for their control of public discussion about the company. One of my all-time favorite bullshit claims is the "Gates always flies coach when he is traveling on business." and the hilariously ridiculous "Experienced fliers into and out of Seattle know to scan the cabin for a man with a blanket over his head—that’s Bill Gates, taking a nap." Total bullshit; even then, no-airline would have Bill Gates check in as an economy passenger and not instantly upgrade him and move mere mortals well away from him. The article even talks about Gate's temper just before the coach claim - no-one would risk their career or livelihood by failing to treat him with super-special billionaire status.
