So, what was Bill Gates' first product (besides BS)?
I didn't know he dated Barbera Streisand.
As to his first product what has he really developed from scratch ever. DOS was simply a fork of CPM and that he got cheap and exploited to the hilt. Since then I can not think of a single scratch idea through code and release that BG ever created. I think he is more Borg than man assimilating whatever and whoever can not stand up to him.
I've heard people claim that BOB was his greatest innovation. I keep a copy on a laptop to show people.
That and Windows ME are the to biggest flops gates has ever done. Unless he needs Viagra, but those flop pretty bad lol.
ME (which is the version of that other OS that I run,) is the biggest reason I started looking at Linux. So thank you MicroSoft for giving me the need to look elsewhere. As for Bob? Well, I'll pass.
I've seen Bob, I can't imagine why it didn't sell! lol. I know why, back when it was release steep requirements meant something to people.
I can imagine. Mike -- who passed up a 50/50 ticket whose first prize was for a non-upgrade Professional Office-2003.
