sorry to say, but if it weren't for bill gates, computers would not be as commonplace as they are now. it is reality, i know that i don't like it and you won't either.
yes, we would have better technology, but it would not be mainstream. people would probibly have kept their distance from computers for years to come.
this doesn't mean, however, that what bill gates did/is doing is right. he is inhibiting the modern technology growth, and selling flawed products.

not necessarly. there were plenty of DOS oss that bill put out of buisness. one of them could have sprouted up and because a better microsoft. we might have better technology that is more stable than windows, and is mainsteam. on the other hand, it could have been worse. just because bill got lucky does not mean that someone else couldnt have.
Laukev7:
Computers being mainstream was not a result of Bill Gates' business practices, but rather a movement he took advantage of. If computer manufacturers had had the choice to install an OS other than MS-DOS or Windows, the same amount of computers would have been produced, except that the computers would have been popularised by a growth of many competitors. If Apple, Commodore, Acorn and others had gone on unhindered, they would have contributed their part of publicity, and the result would have been the same, if not much better. They would have done a much better job of providing computers to the masses, especially Apple (for the US market) and Acorn (for the UK market).
