So you are retired, that is great. I was wondering how you feel on how the govenment is charging Bill Gates with monopolizing the computer industry, do you think he is?

Bill Gates is not charged with monopolizing the computer industry.
The corporation Microsoft is charged with using it’s monopoly power (a ‘given’, already expressed in Judge Jackson’s Finding of Fact) to suppress new companies from starting. I think that Microsoft did more in this regard than any company in the world could have. There’s nothing more that a ‘worse’ company could have done. Therefore, if there are laws against such things, they apply and they should be applied to the fullest extent.
