Oops, I thought it was understood that Microsoft is "the Evil Empire", not " a big company or organization". :-)

I do not trust Microsoft at all, their record of conspiring with the NSA is on the public record, and "Bill Gate's rise to power and dominance" is very suspicious, considering the crappy quality of the Windows Operating System. Therefore, I consider Bill Gates to be the "puppet" of the NSA, which explains it all.
