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. -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 Open Source Weekend http://www.osw.ca
