But he/they didn't CREATE BASIC....just their version of it.
Didn't CREATE C.
Didn't CREATE C++.
Didn't CREATE SQL...HTML....XML..BROWSERS...Windowing....etc

Took features of Java and C++ and "made" C#.

In fact, what has MS ever  CREATED. They bought, stole, renamed and copied
their way to the top.

They even had the balls to take the common word NET and make it into a
product.

That alone should tell everyone what MS is about.

Gates was a geek who made it on he business sense not programming.
