For cos to be the next MS, MS have to get out of the way first. And they ain't ganna do that in a hurry.

Being the 2ndish largest co in the world and have the richest git in the world as their CEO. Some hope mate, some hope.

chris - Your mum as a prossie is number 1, right ?

Seriously what is the number one then ?

**chrisjk** · Jul 8th, 2001, 11:31 AM

well we'd have loads of money then ;D

No.1 is General Electric. They wanted to get even bigger by hatking over Honeywell (another US co), but the EU blocked it (hahahahahaha, at least the EU is good for something, damn americans

)

I'm just happy with my company being #4,453,223 in the world.

Wouldn't it be neat if I was the next ...Gates?

Be in interviews with the same question popping up, "so, are you really related to Bill Gates?"

Hehe, as I get that a lot now

prog_tom i doubt it very much because for starters bill gates wasnt that good at programming sure he was good/great even but he was fantastic at marketing and business.

He didnt create dos he bought it for $10.

Thats why i doubt you'd be the next bill gates or ms because your sitting on a vb forum not learning how business works etc.

My thoughts are that the next MS will come from another industry not IT. Because in IT when a good idea or new company comes along MS has the power to buy em out anyway!

correction, he bought dos for $250 and the guy who sold it to him was only getting $10 for his other programs so he was happy to get so much, becuz at the time software was not needed, so very little people made it.

Well, that's a matter on the Time...Hey I didn't say i would be Bill Gates... That SChen is...
