Cutthroat is an understatement. He did a lot of illegal stuff in the USA and internationally because governments had no idea how he was exploiting them/breaking commercial law. He also bribed hundreds of governments and stifled innovation. The world would be a better place without him.
Sure, but that's how business works when you're as big a company as Microsoft. And he was good at it.
I never said he was a nice guy, only that he was good at business.
