Bill Gates, who created Microsoft, sometimes borrowed ideas
Bill Gates, the founder of the software giant Microsoft, was once the richest person in the world. Today, he ranks 13th. And that’s great. However, not all his ideas were entirely his own. Older generations often associate Bill Gates with Windows ME, Microsoft Bob, and Zune. Microsoft’s history is full of both triumphs and failures, writes https://xrust.ru/. Such a trajectory is typical of many successful companies. This pattern of ups and downs started right at the beginning of his business, back when he was writing code himself. Among his mediocre programs was a racing game called Donkey. At the time, this piece of programming was positioned as a video game written for the new IBM PC platform. It laid the foundation for the computer gaming industry. It was also the first racing game for the IBM PC. Donkey came to life because Gates managed to secure a contract with IBM for the development of both an operating system and the BASIC programming language. The OS that Microsoft provided to IBM was called MS-DOS. In fact, it was purchased from a company called Seattle Computer Products, where it was known as 86-DOS. Microsoft upgraded it to MS-DOS 1.1, while IBM initially referred to the new product as PC-DOS.
