Actually Bill Gates BOUGHT DOS from a dentist who belonged to the same computer club that Gates did, and while IBM was going to offer him a hundred thousand dollars or so, Gates instead licensed it to them for $25/PC sold, which they thought was crazy as they only expected to sell a couple of hundred PC's per year. So in a way he 'stole' it in the sense the he retained ownership and IBM had to continue to pay him millions every year.

BTW, the original name of DOS was QDOS, which stood for 'Quick and Dirty Operating System' and for which Bill Gates paid $50,000 to his dentist friend, so that's who he really stole it from Wink

He talks too much about shit he thinks he’s pioneering.

Well, let’s see who Gates actually is:

A. He swindled IBM out of DOS, became MS-DOS.

B. He STOLE the Mac interface into a kluge that he put in every cheap POS he could, turning it into a hack/virus, blue screen of death hell.

C. He killed Netscape. He paid for it by a judge Jackson ruling to break them up, Bush saved their ass in 2001. He had missed The Internet.

D. He tried to strongarm Steve by holding Office for Mac unless they made Exploder the default browser on Macs. Steve paid him back by sheer merit, No 1 in the world to this day, and by far.

E. He missed the iPod.

F. He missed the IPhone.

The mothefkr is a joke of vision. A BAD example of crooked business and businessman. He made his money on the corpses of others who HAD VISION, but hadn’t gotten big yet.

He’s helped with the third world problems, and he should just spend his money that way. We don’t want his “vision” about the future.

FU Billy. FUUUUUUUUU FOREVER!

You piss me off still after over 25 years, just as you did when I got wind of you, asshole. Get lost and spend your money to atone for all those you damaged their lives and futures.
