IBM went to Bill Gates and his team outworked the other teams and got the OS for the IBM PC. Without that, Microsoft would be a spit in the ocean compared to what they are today. But what Gates did with the company after that had little to do with his Harvard start; which was my original point.

Eh, he actually helped build the company, he isn't just a hired gun. Plus, Apple is way more profitable. It's not some slumlord retailer on borrowed time.

apple is pretty slummy itself just tries to hide it by putting a gay face as the ceo- all about perception.

Filming on an iPhone 6 production line showed Apple's promises to protect workers were routinely broken.
It found standards on workers' hours, ID cards, dormitories, work meetings and juvenile workers were being breached at the Pegatron factories.
Apple said it strongly disagreed with the programme's conclusions.
Exhausted workers were filmed falling asleep on their 12-hour shifts at the Pegatron factories on the outskirts of Shanghai.
One undercover reporter, working in a factory making parts for Apple computers, had to work 18 days in a row despite repeated requests for a day off.
Another reporter, whose longest shift was 16 hours, said: "Every time I got back to the dormitories, I wouldn't want to move.
"Even if I was hungry I wouldn't want to get up to eat. I just wanted to lie down and rest. I was unable to sleep at night because of the stress."

Gates ripped off the guy that wrote the OS and left him in the dust. Did the same thing when the Apple folks showed him their GUI.
