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.

WHERE THE FUCKING HELL THEY GET THEIR MOTHER FUCKING FACTS??
quote:
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!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not very likely that officials will admit Gates' great contribution to the computer industry, but future books on history will reveal his importance on the elaboration of the computerized society.
NO BITCH. Gates will be recocnized as the guy that killed so many companies and for Billions worth of damages because of their fucking moronic apps.
-
They just want a piece of his money pie.
-
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.

Topic: Why do people make gates look good?
Because other people take the attention away from Bill's terrible appearance! ;)
-
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!

hes already living on borrorowed time, he has some disease that makes him live way shorter then he's supposed to. and besides, if you do go off the deep end. can you please tell mr hollings and mr fritz hello. and please please tell mr. valentini and mrs rosen what horrible people they are?
-
and what kind of disease is that? Lead poisoning, perhaps? :D :D
-
Gates might not die from natural causes, he would have to be killed, he has lots of money, and could easily have extensive surgery.
-
chaos... "Fritz" and "Hollings" are the same worthless motherfucker. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, biggest turd since the last hairball that Hollywood coughed up. How the Hell did the West Coast Congress manage to own a North Carolina senator? Oh yeah. Hollings is a shill, I forgot! How silly of me!
Oh well, fuck the Senate. They're a bunch of rich kids that need an attitude adjustment and/or something large, hard, and sharp shoved up their asses. I hate our government, especially the shiteater GOP.
To the Englishmen here, can we borrow some of your legislators for a little bit?
Gates... don't get me started. He's where he is today because he was in the right place at the right time. IBM came to him and he promised an OS, then ran out and bought the worst one he could find, and sold it to 'em. Gates might have been a programmer back in the day, now all he thinks about is business, business, business.
Can't anybody do anything anymore without business being in the way?
quote:
Windows later replaced basic and Microsoft began to introduce application software, such as Word and Excel. Later the company developed all kind of programs including games.
No, actually, I think it was more along the lines of, Bill wanted to break into the app market with Mac software, then ported it all to the PC, but had to build Windows to do it, stole a whole awful lot of the classic Mac API to do it, threw it on top of dos, and then a little later, ported all the apps to dos anyway. Word, Excel, they all came from Mac versions way back in the day.
quote:
Basic became the world standard for the computer industry. Strictly speaking there was only one competitor: Apple's "Mac", but this company only sold well in the graphic industry.
What about the Ataris, the Commodores, the Apple IIs, the Amigas, all the PCs that at that time were, in fact, quite popular. Moreso than "PCs" because the IBM PC was the biggest piece of trash available thanks to crappy ass architecture and shit hole MS-DOS. Not BASIC you dolt... DOS!!! MS-DOS was the OS. GW-BASIC was an extra-cost addition, typically. QBASIC that came with DOS5 was proprietary and was hardly an "industry standard".
Get your facts straight, or bog off.

You'd have to shoot the lawsuit at him with a Starfleet-issue I-Mod (Infinity Modulator).
