Welcome aboard Mr. Gates.
. Titled"This novel about video games felt personal to me," Gates discusses the book's plot, some of his own personal gaming history, and uses this lens to muse about his relationships with key Microsoft players.
I wonder just how good at Tetris qualifies as very good in Gates' mind, because he's obviously an exceptional individual and this claim only made me think of a recent Minesweeper story. A former Microsoft employee recalled that, when Minesweeper was being played internally prior to release, Gates got so hooked and was spending so much time on the game that. I half-suspect Bill's hiding a World of Warcraft habit.
Paul Allen was a childhood friend of Gates, a member of the same computer club, and would later persuade Gates to drop out of Harvard in order to co-found Microsoft. In fact Allen came up with the name of the company,"Micro" from"microcomputer" and"soft" from"software.
"I know what she means: Paul and I were very lucky in terms of our timing with Microsoft," writes Gates."We got in when chips were just starting to become powerful but before other people had created established companies".
