William H. Gates IV - One page career summary
Useful summary covering the core episodes in Gates' career. Gates is described as a "Schumpeterian entrepreneur", but wouldnt it be more insightful to describe him as a Rent-seeking monopolist?

It is apparently inconceivable to the author that Microsoft is a legally enacted privilege which is a parasite on the computer industry; that the software is poor quality; and that its dominance has hindered the development of the information industry. The author has completely missed the concurrent development of the Free Software movement, which will probably spell the end of the Microsoft monopoly.
