Yes, he had a few things going for him but to trivalize what he/Microsoft accomplished over the years with "no smarter and worked no harder" is quiet ludicrous as mega successes usually have an unusually perfect set of circumstances that allow the successes to happen, whether you're talking about Ted Turner, Oracle or Google.

The circumstances may be favorable but it takes good decisions and massive action to turn the circumstances into a multi-billion dollar, world changing enterprise.

I'm not a big fan of Microsoft and it's products but it's undeniable that Bill has the opportunity to improve the quality of hundreds of millions of people in a way that no one ever has.
