A lot of people here hate on BG for his past and at the same time idolize Steve Jobs. If you would just have swapped MS and Apple in terms of market growth i am not so sure if Jobs wouldn't have made as many questionable decisions as Gates. Apple of today is making lives harder for a lot of companies, arguably more than MS of today. Also MS seems to share a lot more (Open Source, Public research) while Apple seems to be 100% self-centered. That of course makes sense for any competitive company, just saying that when one reaches the top, they always look kind of evil while the underdogs seem more sympathetic.
