I will be forever grateful, that Bill Gates founded Microsoft. During his time in MS, he gave us Windows (not his ORIGINAL idea, he did not invented nor coded Windows), the first XBOX, Windows Live services (I have @hotmail.com mail to this day). But later got into medical field and did some very controversial things. He could stay in IT and do good (or bad), but he chose not to.

Well, c'est la vie.
