From this thread ( https://patrick.net/post/1331233?offset=0#comment-1659562 )

Seriously, I don't get all the adulation.

Certainly, Gates made a lot of money and sure, his first thousand Microsoft employees all became millionaires but that's being a shrewd businessman, making the starting 1K have a full stake in the outcome.

Regardless, I never saw people talk about John D Rockefeller as a genius, tech visionary, nor humanitarian.

In contrast, people are saying that Gates is one of the greatest men, for giving away his wealth for the betterment of humanity but I say, he's just an egotist who's using his foundation as both, a tax sheltered hedge fund (as his billions of dollars of equity then don't go through the probate system), as well as a platform for people to speak highly of him, giving himself a title of nobility of sorts.

The Czar of International Health Care (plus Vaccinations).

So what's the Real Politik of William Gates III?

The story of Microsoft is that his mother helped him broker the deal with IBM, which got MS-DOS onto every shipped PC. And MS-DOS, itself, was bought from some Seattle firm for $50K.

Let's contrast that to an actual software (not re-packaging) billionaire, one that I model myself after.

Larry Ellison, clearly a playboy/party animal (and not the stereotype of an engineering nerd), did more programming than Gates, on both the mainframe and minicomputers, during his IT career prior to starting Relational Software (changed to Oracle) and afterwards, up until version 2 where he transitioned into a CEO type, selling his vision while letting others do the work.

Anyhow, Microsoft certainly deserved to win that lawsuit and X11 predated Windows 1.0. Amiga did as well.

As did GEOS.

Oh yeah! I forgot about Geos. That came out in 1986 (had to look that up).

Well, here's what I've heard about JDR I, from now a deceased grand uncle ... he was basically a hated man when Standard Oil was the sole producer and distributor of oil, at some 90% of the nation's supply. This was basically the time of the 1890s to the time prior to the Trust busting era of the 1910s.

So as he got into philanthropy, his son, JDR II led that move and thus, created a type of separation between the patriarch and the scion.

Understand this ... the company hired mercenaries to shoot at the miners in a shantytown tent setup in Ludlow Colorado back in 1914 and it was JDR II, who eventually tried to sooth things over, to prevent a massacre like it in the future where American workers and hitmen went at it full throttle.

This is a far cry from William Gates III, who did all his dirty deeds using 3rd world countries as guinea pigs. It's not nearly as explosive nationally, as what JDR I's bad boys did real-time when they were an effective multi-state monopoly.

So for Gates to have a target on his back, all the victims of vaccination need to step up and tell their stories.

Excerpt: 'During Microsoft's early days in the late 80's and early 90's, Bill Gates had a propensity for partying, insiders said.

On more than one occasion, during nights he wasn't working his usual 17-hour days, he invited friends and dancers from local all-nude nightclubs to swim naked at his Laurelhurst bachelor pad overlooking Lake Washington, James Wallace, who wrote two biographies on Gates, said.

"Gates himself rounded up the girls and brought them over there," Wallace said. "I don't know if he physically transported them or if he just told them where to show up."

Gates was a regular attendee of exclusive after-parties at major computer expo trade conferences like Comdex and Demo, where Gates was often the keynote speaker. "Bill drank, and he got drunk pretty easily," said Robert X. Cringely, who wrote a popular computer gossip column for InfoWorld around that time.

"All of us will have been at some affair where Bill was clearly impaired. He was happier" drunk, Cringely said.

Gates preferred to keep his romantic options open while he was dating Melinda, and he struggled to commit to her. "Bill wanted to be married, but he didn't know whether he could actually commit to it and have Microsoft," Melinda said of the time they were dating in an interview for the Netflix docuseries "Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates."'

===

In other words, Gates was similar to Ellison in terms of partying (sorry, make that attempts at partying) but unlike Larry, he wasn't honest about it and wanted to maintain a faux public image of "Mr Goody-2-Shoes" to fit the narrative of him being a smart humanitarian vs a regular business type with too much money in his hands.

YEP! And the 1541 was deliberately slowed down to be VIC-20 compatible.

Oh wow, VIC-20. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

I'm disappointed. I would have thought they would crack open the necks of a few terrified children and drank direct from the spigot while kneeling whores serviced them, the blood pouring over their faces. They are losers as Globalists.

Yes, as a partier, Gates is totally lame against the likes of a Larry Ellison.

Bill gates been investing lot on vaccines. I wonder if he will bundle vaccine with MS product like office. Free vaccine with office purchase. Or vice versa.

Once all your files n health are on Microsoft then upgrades , membership, n booster shot will be extra. Wink wink.
