Microsoft's a very wealthy corporation, and it could succeed on a business model of software-as-a-public utility surrounded by services in the 21st century. But for all the profound depth of Mr. Gates' mind, the idea of human freedom is one of those things which doesn't register very well with him. And the idea of transforming his business into a service business, for reasons that are, I think, accessible to us all, doesn't appeal. Therefore, for the survival of the Microsoft monopoly, and I do actually mean its survival, the theory being presented by Mr. McBride that we are doing something horrid to the American way of life must prevail.
