Yes, and then fooled Digital (VAX/VMS) who had a very tidy virtual memory swap method into partnering on Windows NT.

As soon as the rivals like OS/2 and the ever-elusive Linux desktop were out of the way, Digital was cast on the trash heap and Microsoft marched on its merry monopolistic way.

Bill is now in the fake-philanthopist business, and one can imagine how he’s treated his ‘partners’ as he goes about his exciting new life “vaccinating” people and buying up food production.

In Gate’s case “neurodiversity”= “autism”.

Bill Gates had Paul Allen.

Steve Jobs had Steve Wozniak.

There are a lot of parallels in their origin stories and creative paths.

Almost as if they were “intelligence community” creations.

Bill Gates daddy, was in charge of divesting a certain IBM company, Billy boy bought all he needed to become rich for less than 70K. Also his daddy was likely CIA connected, and heavy into killing babies for profit... I mean, Planned Parenthood.

I think by now its very clear why Gates rose to his current spot. Very clear.

Our two early personal computer digital pioneers, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. Children of the 50’s

Britain’s two early personal computer digital pioneers, Steve Furber and Roger Wilson, (now Sophie Wilson). Children of the 50’s

Wozniak wrote some of the best 6502 assembly code I have ever seen! i.e. The interface code to control the floppy drive for the Apple.

I loved coding for the 6502!

Wilson went on to develop the Firepath Processor(ARM) that made high speed DSL possible over a simple copper twisted pair. (pots)

I do not consider Gates to be a peer of these fine people. He is a creepy businessman of questionable ethics.

Wilson once remarked to me in an email that she was not very good at math.. but it did not seem to hampered her work in processor design.

The first FirePath SoC was the BCM6410, a single chip
12-channel DSL digital transceiver.

Claude Shannon (The Shannon Limit) would have loved the technology of the Firepath.

Didn’t Gates steal his Microsoft code from the inventor of the ultra 2000?

Quite the article. read most, and this is some for FR:

Donald Trump only a few weeks ago was posting on Truth Social that Gates was coming to see him in Mar-a-Lago. Gates doesn’t deny it. “Yeah, on December 27 I had a three-hour dinner with Trump… It was quite an engaging conversation where he listened to me talk about HIV and the need to stay generous and to innovate to get a cure. I talked a lot about polio and energy and nuclear, and he wasn’t dismissive.”...he is the most powerful person in the world and his decision over whether to consider changing HIV funding alone would make the trip worth it, or to encourage Pakistan and Afghanistan to take polio eradication seriously.”
Did Trump mind that Gates gave money to the Democrats to fight his campaign for the White House? It must have been mildly awkward. “He was very aware of that, but he was generous. He and I met about six times last time he was president — I actually saw him more times than President Biden. I had a lot of times when I would go to the White House and they would say, ‘We think you are going to see President Biden today,’ but six times in a row it didn’t happen.... I didn’t feel slighted, but Trump wants to hear my thoughts himself and he’s very hands-on.”
“My youngest daughter is very much on social media. But I’m glad it wasn’t around when I was young. The amount of time you can waste on it now… As a teenager I could have wasted my life away.”
