Bill Gates... hmm nothing... But his 'gang' is a diffrent story. Of the businesses he aquired they mostly develuped from scratch before being bought out. Some were driven down by durty tricks. Some were driven down by software theft. I don't totally agree with his addatude but S-100 manufacteres who didn't pay for Microsoft Basic should not have included it. Then someone would set down a free basic years earlier. We'd have the source today and Bill Gates wouldn't have this idea in his head that his work is valuable.
