THE REAL "BILL GATES"?
does Bill Gates Strike u as a leader? has he ever inspired you? probably not. thats because he most likely isnt a leader at all.
but rather a shrewd copycat who played his cards right. While Gary was focused on CREATING... Bill was focused on BUSINESS. do the math.

gary was assaulted at a bar which led to injuries that resulted in his death
in july of 1994. Microsoft would come out with Windows 95 (which ran on top of a modified version of DOS) about 1 year after his death
