It had to be the deal of the century if not a millanium certainly the deal of make Bill Gates and Paul Allen muti-Billionaires. To allow Paul Allen to buy toy like these. They own NBA basketball team and arena. Microsoft bought out run for $50,000 the operating system they need it. They turn around and license it to the world for $50 per PC. Think about it 100 million personal computers running on MS-Dos software funding billion into Microsoft. The company is back then with 50 kids manged by 25 year-old who needed to watch his hair. Nice work if you can get and Microsoft got.
