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.
Spelling error there are two letter O in that name.

Tim Peterson Wrote DOS then IBM told some guy that if he got and OS they would buy if from him, this guy paid Tim $57,000.00 for DOS, Bill licensed it to IBM and then copied it for other OEM's Tim got wind of what really happened and Bill paid him (I think) $7M more to keep from being sued. This was still not enough Bill had to hire Tim, who still works there. Then Steve Jobs had a great idea, Windows, Bill saw this and got the source code and copied it. Windows 1.0 was a dismal failure, Windows 2.0 was a bit better and some companies bought it, about this time Steve was having fits over the fact his idea had been hijacked. Then 3.0 came out and Apple took a hit on this one. Soon Steve was fired from Apple and he went to work for Bill, then surprise surprise 95 comes out. Keep in mind Steve and Tim both work for Bill at this time. Then Bill buys a controlling interest in Apple and Steve gets his job back, (so if Bill owns that much of Apple who put Steve the puppet back) Now Bill has control of MS and Apple. Now this (WAR) heats up between Apple and MS the public defends Apple saying it is better then MS. Then surprise surprise Apple is going to an x86 based system, OH NO OS X will not run on non Apple's but guess what XP will run on the new x86 based Apple's OMG who really runs Apple? I found out the above by Googleing some very dark sites about the truth about MS, there is tons more to tell, But Bill has never wrote anything, and currently the only software making a profit for MS is XP and Office, all other programs have dropped so far Bill is having fits as to what to do, Works is currently bring in about a whopping $2 per copy, and the list goes on and on.
