Bill Gates: Well those are our current competitors. I mean, it's no different than in the past people used [IBM's operating system] OS/2.

USA TODAY: Nobody used OS/2.

I like his anti-spam solution of long computational times for the sender and short times for the receiver.

Over half of the banks in Europe are still on OS/2

 

In 1997 Microsoft's entire voice mail system was running OS/2. That had to burn Gates' ass.

I think he was talking about the average consumer base using OS/2. He still hasent lost his edge it seems, he still has a good sense of direction. If only they werent absolutely assholes in court.

I'd say it's better for a business to use your OS, because the chances are much greater that that piece of software was purchased legally.
