Poor Mr. Gates may well be missing out on his utility increments but he didn't miss out on his chance to quash the antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, which his lawyers settled on very favorable terms. Albeit short of allowing Microsoft to bar all other software brands from pre-installation on all Windows computers as he had hoped to do.
At least Gates continues the fine tradition of philanthropy ala Andrew Carnegie and Free Libraries. The current role model for CEO and investment mogul behavior lies closer to that of Bernie Madoff.
