It's easy to critisize Mr. Gates and his company, I do it all the time.  But
he's very good with the consumer market.  His company also changed the face of
computing with a PC, for better or worse.  The majority of the market needs his
crappy operating systems, bloated and buggy as they are.  Not that they can't be
replaced.
