Bill Gates didn't do anything about developing DOS and buying his first PC for he thought it would be useless? Where do you think we would be right now? Would technology still be developed as fast?

I believe that the following it true. 1) Microsoft did not develop MS Dos ... they bought it. 2) Microsoft only got the IBM contract because the person they phoned at Digital Research was at lunch. 3) Remember that MS Dos was not upgradeable until MS Dos 4.0 ... the concept was forced on M$. 4) MD Dos on included things when they saw that other people were doing it ...

No I do not believe that we would be where we are today without Bill Gates, he is a very intelligent man and has helped the whole world and look what he is doing today with his money he has received from this he gives to the poor and helps develop other countries what a wonderful man is Bill Gates.
