    Common mistake, Bill Gates is only the co-founder of MS, and since 2000 he has not been on the board of this company, he was replaced until 2014 by Steve Ballner and then until today MS is chaired by Satya Nadella. Gates is occupied with his wife in a Foundation for philantropic projects (ecologism, medical, etc.) . Nothing to do with what MS is doing currently. He has donated half of his assets to humanitarian projects, leaving himself the richest man in the world for this (ok, he has not been left in poverty for this either). The greedy people in MS are others since a lot of years.

        Possible, although there are worse, anyway it hasn’t painted anything in MS for many years, it hasn’t been responsible for anything they have done for almost 10 years. He can be blamed for the crap out of Windows he put out back then, but which was nonetheless a hell of a lot less intrusive than later versions. Something similar as with Google of the pre- and post ‘Don’t be evil’
