    >Then he maded a new protocol NetBIOS *snip*

    TOTAL BULLSHIT. Bill Gates had nothing to do with the creation of NetBIOS. The NetBIOS interface was developed by Sytec Inc. (now Hughes LAN Systems) for International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1983. The original version of Windows, released in November 1983, had no network support. Microsoft didn't even provide integrated network support in Windows until the release of Windows for Workgroups in October 1992. Before the release of Windows for Workgroups you had to use non-Microsoft network protocol software to network Windows boxes.

    In short, SMB was borrowed from IBM. Here (near the top of the page) is a brief history.
