Good points.
Developers need to make a living. In Microsoft's heyday, Microsoft could abuse their monopoly to coerce developers to care more about making a living than they cared about what they liked (OSS).
Now, this simply isn't true anymore.
My insults lobbed at Bill Gates were merely jokes. I obviously have a ton of respect for the man. Monopolies aside, he was the leading entrepreneur of his day alongside Jobs.

What were my false statements?
