Here's a link to a photo of Bill Gates c.1983 (Corbis Photos, can't post it). If you look behind Gates, on his desk, you can clearly see a Macintosh computer. If he can do it...

That would be rather amazing being that the Mac was released in 1984.

MS at the time, iirc, was selling apps for the Mac. That was pre-Windows.
