In a way I'm happy he is not involved with Microsoft's day-to-day operations any more. So I can now cultivate some respect for Bill Gates the person while still vehemently opposing Microsoft and its dominance.

You did see where he's transitioning to a more active role since the CEO change? Both hats shall be worn.

That was some nice sticking it to the man. Megalomaniacs hate it when people do that.

I know hating is easy, but this is a genuinely commendable thing that the Gates are doing, and they deserve praise for it.
