Bill Gates (founder of mega-corporations Microsoft and The Gates Foundation) has had enormous impacts on government, the economy, education and philanthropy. What do you think Gates' worst impacts on society are?

1. The way he ruthlessly stifles competition. A greater number of competitive operating systems would stimulate innovation. In a world where Windows is the only "one size fits all" solution available, stagnation is inevitable.
