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.
Would Altair Basic be it? The one that he cried about not getting all of the registrations (and monies) that the thought he was entitled to?
I answered this already. A compiler and a language were his first products. The BASIC for Altair is in fact where he got pissy and sent a letter to the computer guys saying they were criminals. I have seen the letter it's funny.
