Bill Gates Was So Hated In 1998 That He Was Publicly Humiliated

On February 4, 1998, the richest man on earth was neutralized by a $2 weapon. This is the story of the day Bill Gates was finally broken, and how a public humiliation changed him forever. In the late 90s, Bill Gates wasn't the philanthropic grandfather the world knows today. He was considered a "digital tyrant," the leader of an Evil Empire, and the most hated man in technology. Facing a massive antitrust lawsuit and the "Browser Wars" against Netscape, Gates seemed untouchable—until a Belgian activist named Noël Godin decided to strike. This documentary explores the incident that shattered Microsoft's image of invincibility, the psychological strategy behind Gates' non-revenge, and how this moment became the catalyst for his transformation from ruthless CEO to global philanthropist.
