The problem with Gates is that if Stallman had the
slightest inkling of a profit motive it's Gates who would
be in the street shouting "Death to the Bourgeoisie!"

Gates' "compensation" over the past 13 years is about 1% of
his net worth, which is a pile of paper until he sells his
bazillion shares of a company that needs to keep swimming
to survive.
