Bill Gates. Arrancando las mantas



Esta información fue publicada originalmente en un blog que hace tiempo que dejó de existir y no la iba a volver a publicar. Sin embargo, después de algunas publicaciones sobre un tema determinado en “estas tu Internet” y sobre Habré, decidí presentar una versión más lógica de los hechos. Y el lector mismo descubrirá qué se parece más a la verdad.



Empecemos. Bill Gates. Escándalos, intrigas, investigaciones.



Siempre me ha interesado el comienzo de grandes cosas. Quién, cómo, cuándo y en qué circunstancias se clavó, como dicen, el primer clavo.



Y este artículo trata sobre el comienzo del largo viaje de Bill Gates, que no necesita presentación adicional.

. The New York Times "Mary Gates, 64; Helped Her Son Start Microsoft" 11 1994 . .



"Mary Gates, a prominent Seattle businesswoman who helped her son, William H. Gates 3d, get the contract that led to a lucrative relationship with I.B.M. for his fledgling Microsoft Corporation, died at her home early today."





*"Her tenure on the national board's executive committee is believed to have helped Microsoft, based in Seattle, at a crucial time. In 1980, she discussed with John R. Opel, a fellow committee member who was the chairman of the International Business Machines Corporation, the business that I.B.M. was doing with Microsoft.



Mr. Opel, by some accounts, mentioned Mrs. Gates to other I.B.M. executives. A few weeks later, I.B.M. took a chance by hiring Microsoft, then a small software firm, to develop an operating system for its first personal computer.



The success of the I.B.M. P C gave Microsoft and its MS-DOS (for Microsoft Disk Operating System) a lift that eventually made it the world's largest software company for personal computers. Sales now exceed $3 billion.



Mrs. Gates's father, Willard Maxwell, was a vice president of Pacific National Bank, which later became First Interstate. Her husband, William H. Gates Jr., is a lawyer in Seattle."*

"Why Big Blue stooped to little Microsoft, Malone suggests, is explained by the fact that Gates' mother, Mary, sat on the board of the United Way of America alongside IBM Chairman John Opel. After two meetings held under promises of confidentiality, IBM offered a hardware and software consulting deal. It wanted rights to a desktop operating system for a small sum; Gates was willing to oblige--on condition that he be given rights to sell copies to other computer makers for whatever the traffic would bear".
