Bill Gates quote in 1984 Apple shareholders meeting

[SeanFerrol]

I recommend you all watch Pirates of Silicone Valley, it gives an unbiased look on both Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Apple and Microsoft in the early years. Including stealing tech and such. It's a good film.

[hoppimike]

hm. Turns out he was wrong.

Oo burn! xD

[MegaEpictroll]

ITT; apple fanfags

[adryanv]

[jcgozun]

[jebug29]

@BoyzNTheHoodSadEndin back off!

[therealsuperhobo]

Ah yes, this is from before Bill Gates realized what a douche Jobs was and decided to make his own OS to piss him off.

And rule the market.

[SpicyHam]

weird.

[chuj00]

back before pc even changed, where was apple in the early mid and late 90's?

[sousuke121]

They sacked Steve jobs in 1984 -1985 and then apple turned crap

[VaderNES]

No, they turned to partial shite after they abandoned the compact Macs, led-on to victory by their jolly-rancher appearance, and later by their white plastic look.

[AdrianoCROST]

@chuj00 ???

[NinjaTTT]

billie learned in school economics.

He sold product that wasn't made yet and he had limited time. I can imagine the quality of that software... But the people needed it...

M$ is still all about the economics not the innovative company with new ideas...

[Rob2202]

So?

Isn't that the idea for making money?

[NinjaTTT]

NO!

You can go buy a car 20% off prize...

But when u bought it u find out u do not own it and u have the right to use it...sure...the car looks like lambo or ferrari right? and then u find has some ollld engine... :P

[Rob2202]

but the person still made money...

they had a good business plan.

[burton500NY]

Great Point

[chamda1]

bill gates monopoliza microsoft,y se enriquese gracias a los pobres

[ZBlacktt]

So this is why we all learned in school back in the lower 80's on Apple Computers. It was the Apple II and II C or E was it with those nice green screen monitors and the 5" floppy disc drives, lol. The good old days.

[ghettosearch]

Oh yeah using those: Atari 400 and 800, and Texas Instruments 99-4A, TRS-80 with the Ultra FAST !!! 16-bit processor

[ZBlacktt]

Our first home system was a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack, lol. I remember it came with a code book the size of a phone book and had to manually type in all the code for each game that was in the book. I guess in a way to teach you code, etc. But make one mistake in all that code and the program never work, lol. Then you'd have to hunt down the mistake. Awh the nightmare days.

[ZBlacktt]

The Apple we learn in school how to make loop programs and very basic functions and commands. Then in 1985/86 there abouts the Mac came out.

[Dms12444]

Dont forget The IMB-5100 and Heathkit H8, and we couldn't possibly forget the SOL-20 terminal computer.

[ghettosearch]

I remember the SOL-20 !!! Oh man the good old days!

[Halo4Mac]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He admits it! If only he would have stuck with Apple..

[Yelonde]

Good thing he didn't! Now we have competition! If it weren't for microsoft, your average mac mini would cost around 2000 bucks XP

[dagnemrth]

Actually Bill did work for Mac, Steve gave him a bunch of Macs before they were released so he can "develop" them for Apple, Steve realized what Bill was actually doing when Windows got released.

[MugunthKumar]

Bill Gates wanted to work for Mac.. But unfortunately, Apple's Board of directors fired Steve, and the new CEO was not willing to co-operate which is why MS came up with Windows from the OS/2 code.

[PowerExpress]

Yeah right

[eddieflashes17]

Mmmmhmmmmmm
