Bill is only the most obvious person at Microsoft. I think that many of the other members of senior management may have had a lot to do with the specific choices that were made. For marketing reasons, it's good to pump up a single individual at the head of an organization, and focus external press & energy at that person. But Microsoft if full of people who want to be just like Bill, so it would continue for a while to operate in exactly the same way. Tom
