| | I, Cringely . November 23, 2000 - The New New Bill Gates PBS |
| | Gates was a freshman studying mathematics at Harvard University when Paul Allen presented the idea of writing a version of the BASIC computer language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer produced in quantity. | | | Bill thought he deserved more stock than Paul, and based his argument on the fact that Paul, as the new head of software development for MITS, had more than one job. | | | What developed instead was a cult of personality in which Bill was the god of software and everyone at Microsoft waited for edicts to be issued. |

| | Why Bill Gates is Richer than You |
| | In the 1980s, Bill Gates got the computer manufacturers to pay him the price for Windows for each computer they manufacture, regardless of whose software is on it. | | | Bill may have lifted some crucial ideas from someone who was either dim or slow enough to think their own ideas were not important to the future of computers. | | | Bill Gates has set back computer technology 20 or 30 years it wasn't until 1990 when one LINUS TORVALDS released his kernel for the GNU comunity that this began to change. |

| | The Bill Gates Interview |
| | Gates entered Harvard in 1973, and dropped out two years later when he and Allen wrote a version of BASIC computer language that worked on the new Altair computer. | | | GATES: For the message that personal computers can do neat things, that software is great stuff, that there's an exciting opportunity here and Microsoft is involved in it, that's a worthwhile message for Microsoft to get out. | | | Gates insists "the hard-core truth is that we've done nothing wrong." But the investigation continues, and Gates has other problems as well. |
