Firstly, Bill Gates was not the only one with a vision of "A computer in every home" what about the other companys? Apple, Xerox, Atari... Other companys which had Full Grpahics, Multitasking and easier to use then Dumb Old Shit (DOS).

How do the people who write these things sleep at night?

One of the activities of the  Mothers Club at Lakeside School was raising money for the school to buy a  Teletype  plus computer time. In this case, the school participated in a time sharing system of General Electric, a Mark II. A Teletype ASR-33 was connected to the GE by means of a phone line. It was Bill's first real computer experience. It was there that he actually wrote his first Programs in BASIC, at the age of 13! The start of a life time involvement.



I wrote programs in basic at 7 years old. What a dead shit.

The Internet Explorer was developed by Microsoft and with a combination of embedding the browser in other products and the use of its strong commercial position Microsoft succeeded in becoming market leader in this area too.

 


  Spyglass did all the final touches and they promised spyglass a portion of each IE sold. Then MS decided to go wild and give IE for free because NETSCAPE was fucking them over.  
  SPYGLASS closed because of them (M$).

  FUCKING GOD DAMN MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

i personally think eventually after gates passes away etc that people will not remember him at all
like they just forget, because he has brought bad memories to the industry and everyone hates him and wants to forget.

Yea, I really think its because, even though they see bad things about him all over, that they are using that software to write the document, and they are in denyial that they have just supported an evil barsted. The thought will eat away at them... Untill they explode.

Wow, Bill was born in 1955? I didn't know he was so old. Only another fifty years before he buys the farm guys!
