However mighty the empire, in the end they all fall.
Gates has made his fortune, (off the back of other's misfortune), and
so he's quitting while he's ahead. Anyway he's got a fresh angle to
exploit, with the able assistance of his pal Warren Buffett. Those
pesky open-sourcers haven't infiltrated the benevolence scams yet, so
that's a good long-haul grifting prospect.
