Gates helped build the Mac OS (orginal one), then went back to MS, built OS/2 (for intel) and windows 3.1

no, the new "aero" interface (in Vista) is the 3d one that is copied off the one that Sun designed - apple has no 3d-ish interface

what in the world are you babling about??? gates had NO part in OS/2 OR Mac OS - Gates started with a BASIC language for the Altair, then co-founded M$. I think you are getting confused in that DOS and Win1.0/2.0 weren't X86 only, and therefore ran on apples and IBMs and such
it was some stupid thing they showed my Computer Info class on the computer nerds. I think they always reffered to M$ as Gates
Laughing Gates is just the beginning, he's not really behind so many of their innovations anymore imho.

M$ had no part in the original Mac OS either
hey, that is what was said in the video
Heh, he's anticipating the misinformation that the [strike]Man[/strike] Microsoft is feeding you!
maybe now would be a bad time to mention my MCP status
