You could maybe compensate all the people and companies you put out of business by throwing your weight around in the 80s and 90s. Maybe throw Jerry Kaplan a billion or two for fucking up his launch of the Go Communicator. Seeing downvotes, which means you haven't been around long enough to remember all the shit Gates pulled back in the go-go 90s. ANY new technology would instantly get a press release from Microsoft saying they were working on the same thing, leaving customers and investors to wait for Microsoft's product. Which most of the time never came or was stillborn. Gates was an asshole, and he might still be, but a tidal wave of greenwashing can fix anything in the good 'ol USA. Now he's a fucking saint, right?
