Bill Gates did create millions of jobs due to the Windows ecosystem. He didn't invent the technology but he did accelerated the technology world to an point it just have gotten so fast that no one cannot keep up. I doubt no one will. In this industry...you have conquer and destroy anyone that threaten your bread and butter because if you don't, you will end up getting crushed. Ask Henry Ford about not protecting an good lead will do to you (Third place in the auto industry, on the verge of being bankrupt). Microsoft slapped on the wrist for slowing down Netscape as an cloud os. At least that brought Microsoft another twenty years of profits.
