Reminds me of talking to a senior exec of a company which worked with MS on making their products work with MS software. I quote from memory a comment he made in a corporate meeting in response to my question about that relationship: "I know that MS have a bad reputation, as a kind of Darth Vader of the IT industry, but from our experience of working very closely with them, I can categorically state that his perception is entirely... true."
I seem to recall that a few years back (quite a few years back) His Gateness was being quited in computing press as deriding other businessmen for their "merely finite" greed.

Is "the richest person" something to be admired? Personally, I can't see it, but YMMV and all that.
