Fair.. but his daddy's connections are what got him the business. he never, ever has competed.
they forced it into business and then folks took home what they knew.. then developers came to where everyone was hating every second of coding on that shit platform.

no he stole it, when caught he paid off the original programmer. I was thinking it was dr. dos but you are right it was qdos.

Not undercut. Microsoft didn't get to where they were today by being more efficient than everyone else, they did it through cronyism and intimidation. Case in point: Every time you purchase a USB key or SD card you pay a microsoft tax because they "own" some basic concepts related to file systems. Take away the US patent office and microsoft would dissolve.

The way they did it is by guaranteeing corporate support. If you're a giant corporation and you depend on your computer systems then there's literally no options. You pay Microsoft whatever they want. Because the only alternative is to use open source software which if it breaks for any reason, you are fully responsible. You can put as many layers of management between you and that decision as you want every time the system stops working there will be one fewer person between yourself and that mistake.
This isn't really accurate either. There's an overwhelming preference for linux in the server market, even though MS offers more support options.
If there was ever a smaller alternative company doing the same thing it wouldn't matter, the investors would always say "why didn't you go for Microsoft, obviously".
There is: Red Hat. They're pretty successful.
That's how Microsoft got ahead. If open source solutions ever scaled to suit corporations without breaking down because "blib-xyzlgbt.10076.xcc" suddenly needs "x11z7.bto" to be on the latest version then Microsoft would have a problem. But that has never happened.
Like I said, most important servers run linux, not windows. It's not even the cost: Compared to all the other overheads a windows licence isn't that much extra. Sysadmins prefer linux because it's typically more stable and more secure (or at least securable).
Where microsoft reigns supreme is the desktop market, especially government institutions. They spend good hard cash making sure that governments worldwide use their OS/office suite. That dominance is becoming irrelevant with the increasing importance of mobile and cloud apps though. Email transitioned to online interfaces a long time ago, and office software is getting there. Even high end computationally intensive software companies like autodesk are flirting with online-only software.
It's only a matter of time before it doesn't really matter what OS you run, you'll mostly have access to the same software. When that happens microsoft is doomed. Azure is their last hope.

Did he code anything apart from fucking BASIC for the CP/M or whatever the fuck they used at that time?

No. He has always been a parasite, profiting from the work of those more intelligent than himself.
To be fair, if you're intelligent enough to get them to work for you, you're not entirely stupid yourself

So, not a crypto, but an actual jew?

Man, this comment section is full of retards.
Good summary, OP. Accurate.

This is the real Bill Gates. Connected crypto jew that was presented as the face of Microsoft. A fairy tale, nothing more, nothing less. Now we're supposed to believe this jew wants what's best for us. It's laughable.

Ever since I got redpilled on kikes, Bill Gates has always triggered my jewdar. Gates being a crypto wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Genetic Jews that were commonly conversos or descendants of conversos, so had a cultural strand of being non-jewish. But they turn out with jewish traits later. They are the goys that get excited when they take a 23 and me and find jewish ancestry.

Crypto jew:
Historically jews converted to Christianity in order to blend in and hide their jewish roots because, well, they have certain traits that are generally not well received.
These people continue to practice judaism in secret while publicly professing whatever sect of Christian faith they supposedly adhere to.

The parallels to Facebook and Zuckerberg are striking. Repeating the same playbook, except this time, they didn't feel the need to crypto the jew.
