[OT] Linda McQuaig on Bill Gates

[Thomas Milne]

I've been reading The Trouble with Billionaires by Linda McQuaig and
she includes a section on Bill Gates. I had never read any of the
history of Bill Gates and CP/M and Gary Kildall. Definitely a story
worth looking up, I can't believe how much of Bill Gates' success is
based on the work of others. Pretty much _all_ of it. According to
McQuaig, under todays copyright and patent rules, Gates would have had
a very different experience.
