Perhaps there were other people that Bill Gates talked with who mentioned similar ideas to him. Arthur doesn't know about that. But perhaps it was Arthur who was at least partly responsible for some of the important improvements to the "context sensitivity" of the right mouse button in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, and succeeding generations of Windows.
One of Arthur's predictions is that Windows XP Home and XP Pro will soon become "unprotectable" against virus and spyware attacks through internet connections. His recommendation is to begin migrating to Linux, especially if you operate a business where internet access is critical. Arthur is currently recommending Fedora Core Linux to his clients and is also working on developing his own version of Linux that is derived from Fedora Core.
When asked about his personal philosophies, you might hear Arthur mention that "Intellectual Property is an oxymoron". He might add, "Knowledge isn't really knowledge until it is shared". Or he might say, "Even the most original ideas are gifts from God, so He owns them, not you".
