In this months PCMagazine there is an article that brings up an interesting story.
The story goes that The government approached Bill Gates with the idea of creating a backdoor
in Windows, for government use, and Bill Gates said no effing way. He waould not do it because he feared that it would soon be found by non goernment interests and exploited, then exposed
and POOF would go the Microsoft market share. The case is made that his balking was what started the Government's interest in breaking up the monopoly and also that that is the reason for his attitude of contempt for the lawsuit. When asked what he saw as the biggest threat to Microsoft was, Bill Gates prontly replied, "State Control". Strange that he would say that, huh?
