Honestly guys. This conversation sounds very bitchy. If it wasn't Bill
Gates who dominated the OS area in the 1980s and 1990s someone of the same

Regardless what you think of them survival in business is always the
survival of the fittest. Gates was at the top of that game for a while.
Anyone who gets beats off the competition at that level has got to be
