Bill Gates is not a technology expert, he's a business man. like all tech CEOs he has no idea what he's talking about. he never created anything in his life, he pays other people to do that. all he knows is how to turn money into more money
The only thing attributed to him he essentially stole, to add icing on that cake. MS-DOS was not cooked from scratch.
I believe he borrowed money from his parents to buy DOS, for a lot less than it was worth.
Bezos also borrowed money from his step-dad to start Amazon. hmm seems to be a theme with all these "self-made" billionaires
Business freaks will repeat the axiom "you gotta spend money to make money!" and expect us not to find out about the loan from daddy that undergirds every "rags to riches" story of modern elites.
He also invented a better algorithm for sorting pancakes by size.
If I were in the 70s, I woulda stolen a copy of Altair BASIC.
