If a software support company, headed by Bill Gates and even called
"Microsoft" exists in the future, will it still be the Microsoft we
write about today? Yes, it is possible that Microsoft will change with
the times but I am not convinced Bill himself will - he personally
believes he is right in what he is doing with Intellectual Property and
is thus going to see the future as a failure, even if he is making a lot
of money.
Bill isn't simply a person with a lot of money - he is a rich and
powerful person with a personal political agenda and belief system which
he has been trying to impose on everyone else.
