In the 1990s, the microsoft corporation was the best. Without it, billions of programs would never been made. It started the future of computers and have helped google, apple, yahoo, even crunch base on its way. Aplle is their 1st enemy, but in the internet world you could use others technology to your technology! Good job Bill, its sad that you no longer is the chairman, the corporation will not be as huge with out you!!
