Although what you say is true, it still doesn't negate the fact that he wasn't a man of his word (if he ever gave it) and had no integrity. A brilliant programmer will not go into his office and give him the next best operating system, bug free, without having confidentiality/copyright contracts & lawyers coming out of the wazoo. Would you trust that he won't screw you over with the next best deal? (although he's not as hungry now) I think not, but then again, people continue to surprise me
