Labret said it best when he described GFY as a board full of sycophants.

If anyone should be the one calling Gates brilliant, it should be me since I'm a former Microsoft employee. But I don't consider him brilliant, I consider him a good business man. There is a difference IMO. I don't consider the business deals that Microsoft has done to be "brilliant", I consider them to be good business. They see an opportunity and they take advantage of it, just as all good businesses do. It's just good business, not brilliance.

I'm not attacking Gates' accomplishments, I'm just not so quick to call some rich guy a brilliant genius as others are. I prefer to call him a good business man.
