Very interesting, many of his answers are still prevailing. And you also find the reason why Microsoft slept away the Internet, Gates believed in CD ROMs: "One of the new areas we’re focusing on at Microsoft is compact-disk applications. CD

People might not always know what they want. An example: my mother needs a simple, easy to use computers that does barely more than surfing in the internet, manage her photos and write some documents. But she thinks she needs a full-blown P

A funny metaphore. But if you think it to the end: I would rather open a restaurant than being a taxi driver, because it's much more fun, there's more creative work to do, you have more liberty in your decisions, contact to your customers i
