You know, Gates reminds me of that company CEO asshole from that movie where he would hire peeps to write code for him, and then off-them when they "didn't serve a purpose". He'd steal code from other people and do the same thing. I can't remember the name of the movie to safe my life though. ...
Antitrust. I'd assume that Bill Gates was that character's inspiration.

That's how it looked to me. He's smiling, but probably trying to think of a comeback but can't come up with anything appropriate. (What could he have come up with, anyway?)

No, the movie specifically refers to Bill Gates as a completely separate person. ;)
Later...

Yes, and the character in anti-trust was a former microsith employee who stole a company project and went in business for himself, and liquidated gates, kinda like former IBM intern Gates did....
