The reason I didn't have great respect as I was in the computer business and knew how he started.The story at that time was he had the deal with IBM but needed the OS quickly,paid a few bob to the developers of CP/M and sold it to IBM.

Fair play to him now though as most others would never believe in spending profits to help others.
