Doesn't Bill Gates own some portion of the WC conglomerate?

It sures smells like a BG thing.

Microsquish owns the desktop/Servers and WC owns the Internet/
Telecommunications, and Bill owns them both? Thrills, gotta
love the advances we would see then, mainly in price....

Can anyone suggest a good discussion list for this? I've got some concerns
about the possible anti-trust effects of this whole deal.
