While that's true, it's also true that Gates has created more software
millionaires than any other tech company. MS has reasonable stock
options, and the stock is golden. All of those millionaires made more
money for Gates than they did for themselves.

In other words, Gates has no trouble with other people getting wealthy
in the software business, so long as they are doing it working for
him.
