If Open Source(OS) were at Microsoft's level in term of dominance, do you seriously think they'll be better in term of business practices? As much as I hate to pay for Microsoft's product, they have definitely made my life easier. Yes, of course OS bitch about this and that about stability, security and all other common things.If you're so popular, it is obvious the world will target you and criticize on everything. The bottom line is it's all business, everybody at that level and stage will be doing the same. So don't portrait OS as God. OS people think they're  smarter than MS people, the difference- MS are not only smart, they can deliver too. OS people seem to think the world need to go to them to be rescued, but MS came to my door to the rescue with a little price tag (clever business strategy). I'm up for it, so is the rest of the world. That is the difference. If water should be free, then how come bottled water are doing business?
I don't care who other takes his place as the richest man, he means more than anybody since his "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" charity work will trickle down even to Nepal, which means chunks of money for our country. Just because our corrupt leaders will eventually get hold of those money doesn't mean we get to bitch his organization in the future. Who care who's the richest if they personally don't affect you and your society.
