- If you read Accidental Empires or the Bill Gates biography (don't
- remember the name), you get the impression that he's not in it for the
- money at all. (Though I'm sure he doesn't mind it.) In fact, he's
- stated that his goal in life is to run "the software company." In
- other words, the world's ONLY software company.

- I've got nothing on this guy. :)
