4. VERY TRUE. Even STEVE JOBS of Apple said that he'd be just like
Bill Gates if the opportunity arose, though that was a few years ago... still, if Reggie White (topical reference, take no notice) can flip flop, anybody can.

Indeed, look at who Apple exploited over the years: The stable of the stable fields: Schools. And exploiting children at school, who'll then turn to the parent(s) asking for an Apple too. Microsoft merely had the intelligence to mooch off of IBM. The company IBM originally wanted for DOS disliked the idea of leeching. But Gates knew better (in terms of how to exploit and be a total bastard).

And, apparently, being the first SECOND to develop a GUI (Xerox did by 1972 and Apple "borrowed" the technology and some of Xerox's employees too), Apple got people to think that it is the only platform for graphics/video work. More fresh plop from that cow.

A benevolent corporation is a contradiction in terms.
