His business practices are pretty HP. There are (hopefully) better tech CEOs in the world.

Huge FF. It would take quite a lot to convince me otherwise.

Do you know how he got to be as wealthy (the real reason)? I don't think you'd be saying HUGE FF if you did. Maybe Lean FF, but not Huge.

What aspect of him becoming wealthy are you talking about? I mean, he started out with quite a bit, but it took him years to accumulate the kind of wealth we think about when we think "Bill Gates wealth." Are you referring to his dispute with Paul Allen a few years back about how to divide up the Microsoft money?

HP 15 years ago. Now it's closer to FF because he's using his vast wealth for good.

It's unfortunate he didn't stay in charge of Microsoft instead of that idiot Ballmer.

Without Ballmer Microsoft would likely have a shortage of Developers!

His monopolistic practices and partnership bankrupted nearly all competing companies, such as Digital and Acorn. When that was done in the latter half of the 90s, the creation of Internet Explorer destroyed Netscape, causing a browser war and led to the antitrust lawsuit. By 2000 the technology industry was a bubble.
