Umm...it wasn't $50, it was a lot more than that, don't mind it was still peanuts compared to what DOS made him...

To buy the full rights from the original owner cost a few thousand dollars, but still a drop in the bucket :P.

I agree, education is the key, but make sure that the education you are pursuing is really going to HELP you later on in life, don't get a degree because "that's what the other guy/lady has"...look as what is really required first and work towards that.

I wasn't there with Bill when he bought the OS, but according to Pirates of Silicon Valley, his autobiography, it said $50. The amount of money is not the point, but I hope you get the jist. Compman brought up a very good point also, although I figured it was a given, (good looking though). Nor does it matter if Bill is still the richest man in the world, there are alot of rich men and women, who can buy and sell us. We must aspire to be like them. Not everyone can be a the president, if you get what I am saying. Rich dad Poor Dad is a good book. But some of the stuff could be misleading. While he states repeatedly, that the road to success is not an easy one, his delivery of the information can be interpreted to be an easy trek. I suggest the younger members of GATT get a copy of this book. Just read into the words deeply.

Sigh.  Pirates of Silicon Valley was NOT Bill Gates' Autobiography.

He paid US $50,000 for QDOS.  He made his money through the fact that IBM did not hold him to an contract exclusive to IBM machines.

There is a HUGE difference between illegal and smart.
