Oh so his resume doesn’t count? Built Great Plains Software without being in a Silicon Valley, sold to MSFT for huge $, went to MSFT and got a really good reputation, went back to North Dakota, his home, and became a well liked governor. I saw him talk - he made a lot of sense.

Um, you left out his not insignificant connection to Bill Gates.

MSFT gave Burgum over a billion for Great Plains Software, NO ONE would not sell their company in that circumstance..it was a huge success for DB.

From what I know Burgum had more connection with the current CEO than with Gates. Gates retired in 2000 and that’s when MSFT bought Great Plains.

My niece’s husband works for the Gates foundation...not in policy but technology. I don’t hate him for it.
