Microsoft

• Apple does not get it yet. Gates leased his OS to
  others, who made inexpensive machines for the
  masses. Apple did not. Gates is a business man
  who likes computers, Jobs is not up to par with
  Gates. The best mousetrap does not always win in
  the marketplace. And literacy plays a large part.

Gates at the Bottom?....

• When it comes to being a computer whiz, appears
  Gates ranks at the bottom. When it comes to a
  business man, One might say Gates ranks at the
  top. Microsoft has little innovation relative to
  computer operating systems, but when it comes to
  business, some say there is no equal.

Time Magazine

• Bill Gates comes under the Times Hero and Icons
  Time speaks of the words richest man and his many
  charities, but nothing about innovation? But the
  Time end the article Quote focused, immensely
  ambitious, scarily determined, often amazingly
  prescient. Sounds like a business man, not a
  computer geek. What does prescient mean??
  knowing or anticipating the outcome of events
  before they happen.
