I wonder if Bill Gates will up and keep that aspect of his one time friend's legacy alive.

  Legend says he and Ballmer tried to take over Allen's share when they thought he would die of cancer. It could be a nice posthumous apology.

    It's hardly legend, Allen heard them talking about it when they didn't realize he was in the office.

      As nasty as something like this made them look, what is being discussed here makes it not unreasonable. They liked being partners with Allen but were worried about his heirs having control of their company as they might have taken it in a direction Allen wouldn't have approved.
