I read Bill Gates’s book in the 80’s. It was about future technology. I was nonplussed about it.
30 years later I recognize Bill Gates is only rich because of his Ruthless business practices. I.E stealing from others.
He’s not a genius and has never proven himself smart imho
Spot on. The early MS years were technology that was lifted from others, later through acquisition. Gates did not leave MS in good hands either (Ballmer?). I think he’s a head’s down coder at heart, not a visionary, not a manager, not a leader.
Lately, for some reason (and oh, it’s near the toilet) I’ve been reading Gates’ now-ancient book “The Road Ahead”, and it seems pretty prophetic.
Well, with one exception - he thought the PC was going to make the phone obsolete.
