Oh. You mean this thing that buys Technology newspaper to subvert the media?
Bill Gates lends cash to buy newspapers
$350 million to MediaNews

It is also used to bribe politicians. Donations are given in exchange for IT
contracts.

Saying that they have been good at marketing is a compliment. They have been
unethical in their marketing strategy. There's a big difference there. The
technical departments and managements are equally unethical. Like father,
like son.

Exactly. It's too late now. When you have been convicted (e.g. of grand auto
theft), then you would drive like a maniac. Gates and Ballmer want to live
large before they are locked behind bars.
Best wishes,
