    Yeah, Gates bought QDOS (aka 86-DOS), to license it to IBM as MS DOS after his mom did the ground work of marketing him to the right people at IBM. And somehow people still respect him, as if he wasn’t the proto-Elon.

      He’s a great business person, period. Like Steve Jobs, he didn’t code but at least Jobs had a drive to make the best products he could.
