On the contrary, Bill probably performed his plans this way as a form of revenge, since i got the impression he was overall mistreated when he was younger.

There's a reason Windows and DOS were such a wild success when they were never really amazing OSes. Bill knew what it took to be a success, probably better than anyone else, but such power can only be achieved by bad deeds. Look up MSs anticompetitive history and you'll see why.

Bill Gates is the inventor of software piracy, since he started complaining that people copied his DOS OS (which was common to share/copy floppies these days). He was one of the first to push sueing private people for copying software, which I don't like him for.
Today, thanks to Bill Gates, 10% of software development is spend on copy protection, DVD/Bluray player have costs for copy protection licences included etc. and the government is hunting down their citizens if they copy software and watches their every step on the internet.
