Microsoft stamhoofd Bill Gates wordt volgens een enquete van CBS News gezien als de belangrijkste topman van de 20ste eeuw, schrijft News.com:
Gates was selected top executive by 34 percent of the respondents garnering almost four times the support of the second choice, Henry Ford, who received 9 percent. Yet, 85 percent of the respondents said the company Ford founded, Ford Motor, was likely to still be around by the end of the next century, compared with only 79 percent who said Microsoft would survive. About 4 percent of those polled chose American presidents as important business leaders, while John D. Rockefeller, Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca received 2 percent each, and Malcolm Forbes, Ross Perot and Alan Greenspan each got 1 percent of the votes.
