Bill Gates
Your paragraph regarding Microsoft's antitrust compliance has been removed for two reasons (by two editors). First, it is not relevant to Gates personally but to United States v. Microsoft (1998). Second, it presents the judge's words as being motivated by non-compliance. As part of the original settlement order, they pre-date any finding about Microsoft's eventual compliance with that settlement. Gazpacho 06:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Response
No it doesn't and the same editor (not two) keeps removing this. This falls directly under the Microsoft Corporation sub-heading and relates to actions Bill Gates took, so it is very relevent.
 * keep in mind the point that this is a biography of a living person and attacks(even ones that appear non-personal) can cause a great deal of trouble for wikipedia, especially those that can be taken as slander. i kan reed 14:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

It is the truth. Thank you.


 * Multiple editors are reverting this (I am one and I am not any others). Here is the 2002 settlement order from which the remark was taken:


 * During this litigation, promises have been made on behalf of Microsoft that the company will change its predatory practices which have been part of its competitive strategy in order to comply with the remedial decree. The Court will hold Microsoft's directors, particularly those who testified before this Court, responsible for implementing each provision of this remedial decree.  Let it not be said of Microsoft that "a prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise," for this Court will exercise its full panoply of powers to ensure that the letter and spirit of this remedial decree are carried out.


 * As you can see, the judge is warning Microsoft to comply fully, but not claiming that Microsoft has not complied with that order, or any other order. Mention the accusations of government lawyers at United States v. Microsoft if you want, but do not put them in Kollar-Kotelly's mouth. Gazpacho 18:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Bill Gates
Welcome!

Hello THEREALVIEW, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole.
