Hi, This seems like an almost mathematical approach to organizing an essay but, if it works for you, I guess that's OK. My general reaction is that most of these points appear to deal with Microsoft and its products, while not very many seem to deal with the impact on you. Isn't the latter what you should focus on?

- In addition, are you assuming that Bill Gates and Microsoft are really synonymous?
- Have you considered Bill Gates as a man, and what his personal qualities are?

I think you're completely right... I'm approaching the essay from a technical point of view on Microsoft's product that have nothing to do with Bill Gates or his impact on me... I guess like you said I should focus on his qualities as a person and the things he's done that have impacted me....
I'll pre-write it again and repost....
