As for the political environment that Gates had to deal with was when Microsoft was being prosecuted by the federal government and allegations were brought up that Microsoft was a virtual monopoly that was denying other companies from being able to compete with their operating system.

Back to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
the topic of this section is how ideas and solutions were implemented. Martin Luther King used boycotts, as well as speeches and writings to get his message delivered. He organized groups for protests, Kings protest’s however were very civil, he believed that peaceful protests were the way to speak the loudest, he understood that by causing harm and chaos would be counter-productive for his cause and made sure that those who followed him were well aware of what and how things needed to be done to accomplish the tasks at hand.
Bill Gates it seems was a little simpler on his implementation of his ideas, he simply used his skills to create software that would function with the present technologies that were available and continued to make new software and operating systems that would work with new and future systems that were created.

They were and still are the best at what they did, there will always be new people and creative minds finding ways to perfect something or add new types of innovations to the equation but to critique the methods used by these two parties would be a naive move.
