Bill Gates Praising Apple Computers

He stole my ideas

Ah, you're correct. Thanks for the correction.

@ribaldi You're slightly mistaken. QDOS was purchased from SCP, (Quick and Dirty Operating System) which was designed by Tim Paterson who hated CP/M and believed he could make a better OS. He sold it for $50K without knowing that Microsoft had a deal to license it to IBM.

What you've said is true. CP/M was purchased from SCP in 1980 for $50K and was resold to IBM as its first PC OS - renamed DOS. Hence 1981 saw the intro of IBM PC. But DOS was a CLI much like most computers at the time including the 4 year old Apple II.

Lisa was the 1st GUI PC followed by Mac. Xerox produced the 1st concept of GUI but it was for workstations & never meant for consumers. Gates was invited to develop SW for Lisa & Mac in 1982-3. This influence him to work on Windows 1.0 later.

dont have to be a douche... just sayin

lol he sounds like kermit

Microsoft was designing an OS for Apple in the 80's. That's why he's praising them.

my norton 360 3.0 takes care of them so dont worry

Duh, WHO WOULD EVER EAT CARDBOARD AND PLASTIC????
