Bill Gates got taste of the pie, but not as he expected.ππ₯§
If you don’t know,
Bill Gates is one of the most hated personalities of Silicon Valley and this incident was one of the proofs. πΆ
Story started something like this,
He sold 86DOS to IBM as a Microsoft product but guess what? π€
It was not built by Microsoft; it was a product of Seattle Computer Products and they were given next to nothing. π
Moreover, Bill Gates had stolen the Apple’s Macintosh source code to learn how to make a GUI desktop personal computer work on such weak microprocessors that we had in those days. πΆ
Which made Steve Jobs pretty angry.π
Bill Gates has bought many companies just to shut them down and maintain the monopoly of Microsoft.π€·π»ββοΈ
He is also targeted because there are rumours about him stealing ideas of other companies and small start-ups.π
He has also tried once to shut Open source softwares and the developers who made them were given a notice. π
Now, Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub will make some sense.π€·π»ββοΈ
As no open-source software is out of Microsoft’s reach. Hence no competition.π
PS: Right now he is doing a lot of philanthropic work and I totally respect him π It was back in mid 1990s so, just read this and who knows they might be all rumors ? π€·π»ββοΈ
Edit : This all information is gathered through internet and I have no intention of defaming anyone.
I personally respect him a lot.π
I really like to discover this side of billionaires π let me know if you want some more content related to this.
