Not sure about the rest of your information but much of it appears to be suspect and written by a crazy person who really hates Microsoft - and probably capitalism as well.
yes, it was Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have to apologize for that, I have a bad habit of swapping Phoenix, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico when attempting to remember the early Microsoft years.
I cannot recall the name of the man Bill Gates allegedly used as a financial backer and then soured the relationship before leaving New Mexico to move the business to Seattle. The story used to be fairly easy to find on the search engines ten years ago, but not so easy to find now. Bill Gates borrowed $7,000 (IIRC) from one of his early employees to kepp Microsoft afloat at about this time (perhaps 1977?). If anyone has one of the books about the early days of Microsoft, perhaps they can find a reference to the situation.
As for Bill Gates’ arrest record, some of it can be found with the search engines by using Bill Gates and mugshot as search terms. Curiously, the searches are not turning up results describing the incident with their playing with the earth moving equipment. The current searches do describe Gates being arrested for speeding and failure to appear for his moving violation traffic offenses. He was described as a bad driver with his Porsche 911.
Searches for “Microsoft litigation” will show some very lengthy results describing the hundreds of billions of dollars Microsoft has paid for its illegal activities.
Microsoft has little to do with free markets, given that Microsoft is one of the worst monopolist cartels in U.S. history with a well earned reputation for predatory violatoins of intellectual property rights of its competitors and fair trade.
Paul Allen, co-founder and former partner of Bill Gates, wrote a book in which he described how Bill Gates tried to cheat him out of his share of the Microsoft fortunes by the most disloyal and underhanded means Gates could engineer.
