As for his business practices, yes, perhaps they have been predatory, aggressive, and ruthless. But not unethical or immoral.

The idea that he set back the tech industry 10 years is ludicrous at best. There are better platforms, yes. But Windows allowed the average person to afford a computer, and this prolific growth of computers (and its affordability)around the world only speeded up advances in technology.

The alternative to a STANDARD platform would have been expensive computers and systems for rich and elite institutions. Perhaps there would be more advanced technologies, but what good would they do if one can’t afford them?

The free market knew best….and picked Windows…not the best platform, but overall a fine compromise.
