Bill Gates on Playing Both Underdog And Corporate Villain


In our second Bill Gates interview segment, we are surprised that the question about Bill’s changing image leads to a brief amusing history of Microsoft. Note the none-too-subtle hint that the Google boys should take a bit perspective from his tale.

    Gates is quite the businessman! He kept the copyrights to DOS and so each individual copy sold for each individual machine, originally to IBM, gave him a profit…MS-Windows was simply chapter two, but Gates really made his move back in the days of DOS (Disk Operating Systems). If Jobs had been able to lower the cost of the Apple Machines, perhaps Gates would not have achieved such high revenues for MS-DOS sales (on personal computers).
