I read to figure out why an image of Bill Gates is attached to the story

It just pulled in the first frame of the video on the website. The reason Bill Gates is in this video is because of a famous anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft that can be thought of as an equivalent of this one against Google.

It looks like it could be a frame from a deposition for the 90's MS antitrust suit.
