Bill Gates as a Scientist?

Farreed Zakaria has an article about US losing the scientific research advantage by not allowing as many foreign students into US Universities and that we might loss the next "Bill Gates". He suggests that Bill is a scientist. Bill is no scientist, but he is a businessman. In reality, he bought someone else's work on the cheap and then copied the work of others and hired high-priced lawyers to protect him. He failed to see the importance of the GUI until Apple made it popular. He failed to anticipate and prepare for the dawn of the public internet, so he had to snuff Netscape. He tried to clip the wings of Sun with IE organic Java instructions, I think he was forced to a draw on that one. Bill Gates is more of a pirate than a scientist. For every two scientists he made poor, he made one rich. He kept the difference.
