Gates is to Software what Dell is to hardware, or vice versa. I have yet to see any profound improvements, enhancements, or ground-breaking ways of computing using any microsoft products since 3.1. Not that there haven't been slow improvements, just nothing as groundbreaking as the first windows GUI. If Gates wants to crush open-source, he needs to compete. Not slander, compete. Make something worth paying for. End-of-Story. Gates is just pissed off that some companies are willing to develop software, and sell it for cheap/nothing. I'm sorry, but 1200$ for Office 04 suite for home users, and free gov't employee editions? "Lite" windows xp in Thailand? Gates has shattered his own price floor, and will pay for it. Open source is now a contender, and MS needs to stfu about "economic impact," "intellectual property," "security flaws," and make better products.
