Gates designing a buggy OS that's exploitable doesn't give me cause to dislike him or consider all his motives and ideas to be bad.
I'm not a fan of Gates, but neither am I going to consider him as a "bad guy", at least not until I've become aware of sufficient evidence. Even then, bad guys sometimes have good ideas. I'll consider those ideas individually, without bias, to the extent I can manage.
Trying to figure out water seems like a good idea. Trying to figure out new nuclear power seems like a good idea. Doing that in China seems like a bad idea. Having no other option because of NIMBY US policy seems like a bad idea.
