I, you, we, did not make Bill Gates, Microsoft. Bill Gates spent thousands of hours, when he was nothing creating something of value. The users, used his product because the net benefit of its use was greater than the net cost. bill Gates made something users could exploit for their own gain. We no more made Bill Gates than he made us.
Here is what is key: Bill Gates profited from his work. We profited from his work. Something was created. The theoretical "pie" got big because of Bill Gates. I don't begrudge him, for his share.
