Why are Bill Gates his achievements always downgraded in the public eye?

I just read this article and wonder why Bill Gates is always portrait ed as a guy that got where he is today because of luck, great background, other people close to him, theft etc.? This article tries to make a case against any risk that Gates and many other successful entrepreneurs took to get them where they are today. Being one myself I like to point out that the risk this DB is referring too don't matter, it's about the responsibilities that you have as an entrepreneur everyday that bring risk and make you cautious. The people that work for you, their families and financial obligations. Its not about the fact that you switch from being employed by somebody else, that is not a risk at all. Its about ideas and will they work in the world as you know it when the idea hits the brain? Its about making your ideas become companies and everything that happens on the way to the day you make more money then you spend and how to survive in between? It about trust and loyalty and finally its about the passion that you have creating something that makes things better and are people willing to pay for what you offer. I find it strange that Mr. Gates always gets to look bad for what he did. IMHO this man made it big, made mistakes along the way, but now he is where he is look what he does with his wealth and knowledge. I like Apple more, but think Bill Gates is a modern hero, making our world, not just his a better place. Thanks Bill. Good job! Great Risk!
