    He knows the end game of Microsoft's dominance is beginning. It was a good run for them. This is the one thing that Microsoft cannot beat and that is the positive side of human nature. People like to help and give.

    There is something wrong with the mans ability to empathize. He just thinks people are going to embrace a "toll-road" mentality toward information. His ability to truly believe he can shoehorn society into payment plans for information makes him (IMO) one of the most selfish people of all time (no matter his philanthropic record, thats all his wife most likely :)
