The first thing you do in real life, not in fantasy blogger-land, once you are able to is go back and apologize to the guys you stomped on along the way.

I am talking about STAC, Gary Kildall's family, etc.

Also perhaps an effort at MSFT to reverse the culture of lying and deceit that even now permeates their marketing.

I see no evidence of Gates doing that. Self-reflection would be required for that to happen.

In some respects I see Zuckerberg following the same path.
