DOS was Bill gates first OS, next came Windows 1 and Windows 2, but the public didn't pick it up until windows 3.11
What you said just reinstates what I was saying thank you.

No it wasn't. Microsoft bought DOS. It had nothing to do with Bill Gates. Perhaps you would care to share some more of your revisionist history.

Thank you. I was gonna correct him, and you got there first.
He probably thinks the holocost didn't happen, too, or that we didn't land on the moon, or that Obama is a U.S. citizen.

How he got it does not change the fact it was his first OS genius
|

Dos was invented in a board room off of nothing before bill gates bought an operating system for $50,000 and then called it dos, and he only did so after he changed the OS to suit IBM.
Windows 1 and Apple (I forget what the original windowed OS was called) were both stolen from Xerox.
That doesn't change the fact that is was Microsoft first OS.

Errm, you said it was Bill Gates' first OS. Considering that they bought it, and Paul Allen was responsible for most of the integration, Gates actually had very little to do with it.
|

It was actually his second if you count that ticker tape OS that ran that machine of dots.
He owned the company that is all that matters.

No, it's not all that matters. You appear to have the ability to throw your voice so that it sounds like you're talkin' outa your ass, because every one of your utterances have a healthy coat of sh*t.

Right... it was Seven of Nine....
But, more to the point. Do you have inside information from Microsoft telling you that a product named "Windows 9" doesn't exist? Even if it is in an early stage, a unfinished product CAN exist.
|

|
|
|
Windows 9 could exist
But it will only exist when the words come out of a Microsoft employees mouth.
Windows Threshold does exist.

Yes most people are full of sh*t.
The Code Project is suppose to be a credible news source not a tabloid.

I am saying that when Code project and other companies spread news about Windows 9 it comes off as a tabloid.

Yet everyone knows exactly what they're refering to, a horse by any other name is still a horse.
