Unix is a junk OS designed by a committee of PhDs.

In the summer of 1988, I received an interesting call from Bill Gates at Microsoft. He asked whether I'd like to come over and talk about building a new operating system at Microsoft for personal computers. What Bill had to offer was the opportunity to build another operating system, one that was portable.

Little did I know that I would be fortunate enough to develop several operating systems in my lifetime developing one is a rare opportunity for anyone.
