"If it weren't for Bill Gates, we might not be having this conversation..."

I hate it when people give Bill Gates and Microsoft credit for whole computer and IT advancements.

We are having this conversation because many many people worked hard on these technologies. Microsoft and Bill Gates are only one of them.

Of course, DOS and Windows accerelated wider adoption of personal computers, but even if they havent, someone other company would've done so.
