Bill Gates. Merobek penutupnya



Informasi ini awalnya diterbitkan di blog yang sudah lama tidak ada lagi dan saya tidak akan menerbitkannya ulang. Namun, setelah beberapa publikasi tentang topik tertentu di "ini Internet Anda" dan di Habré, saya memutuskan untuk menyajikan versi peristiwa yang lebih logis. Dan pembaca sendiri akan mencari tahu apa yang lebih seperti kebenaran.



Mari kita mulai. Bill Gates. Skandal, intrik, investigasi.



Saya selalu tertarik pada permulaan hal-hal hebat. Siapa, bagaimana, kapan dan dalam keadaan apa yang mendorong, seperti yang mereka katakan, paku pertama.



Dan artikel ini adalah tentang awal dari awal perjalanan panjang Bill Gates, yang tidak membutuhkan perkenalan tambahan.

. The New York Times "Mary Gates, 64; Helped Her Son Start Microsoft" 11 1994 . .



"Mary Gates, a prominent Seattle businesswoman who helped her son, William H. Gates 3d, get the contract that led to a lucrative relationship with I.B.M. for his fledgling Microsoft Corporation, died at her home early today."





*"Her tenure on the national board's executive committee is believed to have helped Microsoft, based in Seattle, at a crucial time. In 1980, she discussed with John R. Opel, a fellow committee member who was the chairman of the International Business Machines Corporation, the business that I.B.M. was doing with Microsoft.



Mr. Opel, by some accounts, mentioned Mrs. Gates to other I.B.M. executives. A few weeks later, I.B.M. took a chance by hiring Microsoft, then a small software firm, to develop an operating system for its first personal computer.



The success of the I.B.M. P C gave Microsoft and its MS-DOS (for Microsoft Disk Operating System) a lift that eventually made it the world's largest software company for personal computers. Sales now exceed $3 billion.



Mrs. Gates's father, Willard Maxwell, was a vice president of Pacific National Bank, which later became First Interstate. Her husband, William H. Gates Jr., is a lawyer in Seattle."*

, . , "" "Pioneers Die Broke" John Steele Gordon, Michael Maiello (, , -):



"Why Big Blue stooped to little Microsoft, Malone suggests, is explained by the fact that Gates' mother, Mary, sat on the board of the United Way of America alongside IBM Chairman John Opel. After two meetings held under promises of confidentiality, IBM offered a hardware and software consulting deal. It wanted rights to a desktop operating system for a small sum; Gates was willing to oblige--on condition that he be given rights to sell copies to other computer makers for whatever the traffic would bear".
