I thought of Bill Gate’s life, born in 1955, he was already in a fortunate position because he had access that 99.678 people didn’t have a chance to actually learn about computers and since the 21st century exhibition had some ideas about robots and the future Bill figured he would work things backwards and transferred from a public school since grade 6 to lakeside, the best in his Seattle. He was a class clown but he was also incredibly intelligent even for the best of the best so he got educated in math class to pay a small fine to General Electric to experiment on terminal lines from his school. Later he started a small deal with Kent Evans, Paul Allen, and another colleague from Allen but Evens and Bill got kicked out of the operation and when Paul recruited Bill he took over of the operation and found a way to recruit even more people to his computer club. Late that became the first standard called the ‘lakeside programmer group’. They weren’t to C-Cubed ( computer center corporation ) to exploit bugs but crashed their PDP-10 many times so they kicked them, but later they recruited them to exploit more bugs and find solution to flaws that became his first attempt to take over the computer world. The second time was when when Bill was recruited to write a schedule for the school, and at was that day that Evans died from mountain Climbing so he contacted Allen and was able to get the job done within the fortnight through a series of “matrix” techniques. His third time was developing a traffic countering service for the local traffic workers and generate reports to show flaws of their service.

Heard do based on inside Bill. According to decoding Bill’s brain, numerous of people narrates flashbacks of Bill’s teenage years and there was a section describing how after Bill’s best friend died in a hiking incident his friend Paul Allen returned from Washington state university and decides with Bill to write a class schedule which requires advanced mathematics model and knowledge of coding under a limited period to complete.

Actually when you look at the core products of Microsoft (Windows and DOS) both came from other sources. And No, Windows wasn't taken from Apple, but rather Xerox. Which is where the idea of the GUI was developed (and this is a misconception people have... Microsoft didn't actaully steal the idea from Apple, but rather both took the idea from Xerox). And Xerox also went on to develop prototypes of computers on an Ethernet network, and even dabbling and popularizing object-oriented programming (all of which is used even today) Too bad Xerox didn't pursue the idea of a GUI and a mouse otherwise they'd own the computer market now and Apple and Microsoft may not be what we know it as today. As for DOS, it was purchased from Seattle Computer Products (Tim Patterson) and modified and re-sold to OEMs like IBM. The BASIC language (and many others) were developed by others, but MIcrosoft made their own adaptations of those languages (BASIC, Fortran, etc). So really, it was Xerox that got the two companies where they are today when you look at the operating system side of things. If it wasn't for Xerox, we might be 10-20 years behind, still using Windows 3.1 type machines... In one biography, it's basically said that Gates used an existing product/service, modified it slightly, and re-sold it to people. Which is how that market sort of got started.

RE: 5:55 "It's worth remembering that at this time Microsoft and other companies like it, such as Apple, hadn't started producing their own computers yet." (1990) - True for Microsoft. Very untrue for Apple. Ever heard of the Apple II or the Macintosh? Apple was very much producing their own computers.

At the beginning bill was having huge arguments with other companies around the world and also he may do stuff for charity but years ago he was awful to work for with staff complaining about him .

[@jameseverett4976]

He didn't get there first. He did a giant bait and switch operation. The Bait: He sold his inferior product at a lower price, with promises of free upgrades, to beat out the competition. then The Switch: once he had the majority of the market, based on false promises, he renamed and repackaged his upgrade, and made everyone pay around 5 times the price of the original for the new upgrade. They had to buy his new upgrade or else switch platforms, buy new hardware and start over. Of course it was cheaper to pay for his upgrade, so they did. Then he bought out his former competition, made them both inferior products, and now we have the absolute worst buggy technology compared to what we could have had, with viruses as the icing on the cake.
