Well, to create a new standard it takes something that's not just
a little bit different, it takes something that's really new, and

the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard.
-- Bill Gates
Imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of
work another company could come along and copy your work and market
it under its own name...without legal restraints to such copying,
companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art.
-- Bill Gates
“Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more
'user-friendly'.... Their best approach, so far, has been to take
all the old brochures, and stamp the words, 'user-friendly' on the cover.”
- Bill Gates, Pres., Microsoft, Inc.
