Bill Gates: Windows 95 Was 'A High Point'

Posted by samzenpus on from the almost-as-good-as-3.1 dept.

BobJacobsen writes "CBSnews.com has an article about Bill Gates and Steve Balmer answering questions at the 'All Things Digital' conference. When asked about 'high points' in his time at Microsoft, Gates replied 'Windows 95 was a nice milestone.' The article continues 'He also spoke highly of Microsoft SharePoint Server software, but didn't mention Vista.' Was there really nothing else that Gates considered a high point?"

    Seriously tho' - take a look at the photo of Bill & Steve answering questions - have you ever seen such defensive body language? I almost felt sorry for them - but then I remembered they were responsible for Windows 95.

    There was no smoking. Bill stole Steve's Ritalin.

    Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll
