DONKEY.BAS, a game that hardly aware of our younger readers, was developed by Bill Gates and Neil Konzen in BASIC and included in DOS 1.0 in 1981. Interestingly, three decades later is available on the App Store.
In recent days announced evidence that debunks the myths of enmity between the architects of Microsoft and Apple, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. This is a letter from Bill Gates to Steve Jobs that his time was short and life . It commends Gates founder of Apple, offers words of encouragement and writes about Jobs’ children (who had known Bill Gates). After the death of Steve Jobs, his wife Laurene Bill Gates thanked for the gesture and told him that her husband had kept the letter next to his bed in the last hours. Before sending this letter, Bill Gates had spent several hours talking to Jobs in a long visit in which exchanged views on the future, other companies now emerging and their families.
The letter by Bill Gates, however, did not have a tone as friendly as many would suspect. These are some of the lines of the letter :did not have to make peace. We were not at war. Both made great products, and competition was always a good thing. There was no [reason to ask] forgiveness.
Since 2007, the link between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs had softened enough following a meeting in a conference (D Conference). On that occasion had coincided by chance and took the opportunity to discuss common interests, leaving open the possibility for this last contact before death Jobs.
