Maybe Bill Gates needs to steal another operating system and release it under Microsoft’s name (only this time, he ought to steal one that actually works).

Is it stealing if you get someone else to do it for you?

Besides, things worked fine. It took years of work to turn it into the bloated monster known as Vista.

Wow, someone who actually believes that he stole the OS!

I worked with a guy at a place called Data Free that worked closely with Bill Gates and the guy(can't remember his name) who really started the OS.
He said the guy was real smart but timid and didn't try to push it, so old Bill took over and took all the credit. Yep he is living large and living a lie. In my heart, I know he will get his just rewards!
