   Bill Gates tried to cheat me, Microsoft co-founder says

   Allen, who now runs a Seattle-based investment firm and philanthropic foundation, makes the claim in a forthcoming book of memoirs, excerpts from which were published in Vanity Fair magazine this week.

   Allen, 58, says he overheard a heated conversation between Gates and now Chief Executive Steve Ballmer in December 1982, shortly after Allen told them he was thinking of leaving the company.

   That doesn't surprise anyone familiar with the history of DOS, which was little more than an enhanced version of Gary Kildall's CP/M http://www.digitalresearch.biz/HISZMSD.HTM . Did Bill Gates ever write an original line of code himself?

   Did Bill Gates ever write an original line of code himself?

   I can assure you that Bill Gates is a very clever assembly programmer.
   He wrote an optimized BASIC interpreter, which later has been implemented in several homecomputer brands - and he was just aged 13 !

   MS-DOS grew from a 1981 request by IBM for an operating system for its IBM PC range of personal computers. Microsoft quickly bought the rights to QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System), also known as 86-DOS,[2] from Seattle Computer Products, and began work on modifying it to meet IBM's specification. The first edition, MS-DOS 1.0, was launched in 1982.[3] The version shipped with IBM's PCs was called PC DOS. Although MS-DOS and PC-DOS were initially developed in parallel by Microsoft and IBM, the two products eventually went their separate ways.
