Back in the 90's, early 2000's, I did not think highly of Microsoft or Bill Gates. I didn't like their business practices or what they were wanting to do to free software (and Linux in particular). Gates would always make sure to mention how much MS were "innovating" with Windows and Office and it grated with me.

It's a very different MS now and one I welcome, even though I prefer free software and Linux still. Gates has also put his money and organisational skills to good use and I'm impressed by what he's doing to help fight this pandemic. Reasonable voices backed up with money is a positive just now.
