I often hear peple talk about Willy boy, they assume he went to MIT or some

He dropped out of Harvard school of Business. He dropped out when he
figured out how to get rich not because he was stupid.
He may not know much about computers or quality of products but he knows how
to make $.
Give Willy boy his due.
Just be glad he is the leader of most everything computer related and not
Air traffic!
Having most peoples computers crash is a bother but you get to walk away!
Just imagine flying across the country and in mid flight having to shut
everything down and re-booting or even worse having to reload the airplane
in mid flight.

Maybe he decided that since he couldn't get
what he thought his software
was worth that he'd lower it to the level consistent with what he was
getting. Then when he became a billionaire 50 times over, he forgot (or
forgot how) to actually start writing good software consistent with the
money it was making ;)
Well I don't consider BASIC or other M$ products quality products in the
1st place.
Mr Bill is known for marketing not programing software. I think I read
that productivity
has gone down since the 90's as you have more lost work do to computer
crashes.
