13/21

Microsoft

Apple does not get it yet. Gatesleased his OS to others, who madeinexpensive machines for the

masses. Apple did not. Gates is abusiness man who likes computers,Jobs is not up to par with Gates. The

best mousetrap does not always winin the marketplace. And literacy playsa large part.


14/21

Gates at the Bottom?....

When it comes to being a computerwhiz, appears Gates ranks at thebottom. When it comes to a business

man, One might say Gates ranks atthe top. Microsoft has little innovationrelative to computer operating

systems, but when it comes tobusiness, some say there is no equal.


15/21

Time Magazine

Bill Gates comes under the Times Heroand Icons Time speaks of the wordsrichest man and his many charities, butnothing about innovation? But the Timeend the article Quote: focused,immensely ambitious, scarilydetermined, often amazingly prescient.Sounds like a business man, not a

computer geek. What does prescientmean?? knowing or anticipating theoutcome of events before they happen.
