Well, there hasn't been a real good book on the
early days of Microsoft,
the Harvard incident, MS's buy and kill method of eliminating
competition and inovation, etc.
Harvard appears to have sealed or destroyed any record of what occurred
when B.G. "dropped out" as part of whatever agreement was reached. Nobody
who really knows the details is saying much of anything. No one in the
press appears to even consider that Bill didn't really "drop out"
voluntarily.
If they did consider it, their editor would probably kill it.
Seems like no one has the info or guts for the tell
all book.
Either that or they don't have the ability to convince a publisher that
it's a good idea to annoy someone who could buy them with pocket change.
