Well, after all all the programs Bill Gates "owns" were programmed by some other people. Ms-Dos was also programmed by some guy who even didn't know what he created. Gated gave him some money and bought Ms-Dos off. In contrast to the programmer Bill Gates knew what he was going to buy. That's where his career began...
That's not wwhat I heard, I heard that IBM needed an OS produced as fast as was possible so they hired Microsoft (which was only small then) who created QDOS (Quick and Dirty Opersting System). If IBM hadn't been so greedy then they could have bought the company of Microsoft and got all the money.
