"no"

1. He didn’t ignore the call he just didn’t see the importance because Gates couldn’t explain as he was under an NDA. His wife and lawyers spoke with IBM.
2. After this meeting IBM wanted to pay a one time fee for CP/M, Kildall wanted a royalty based license. This is when IBM went back to Gates.

I mean hey, at least he recommended them to contact his friend, he literally send a golden opportunity to the door of his house.

IBM: Can you make an OS for us?
Gates: We don’t have one.
IBM: …that’s… why we asked you to make one…

Big RIP


good on gates for staying on that grind

[roobes]

Imagine just being know for this and this only

[AndrewTateOfficial]

"he said no, he went out to fly his plane that afternoon instead" has to be one of the top 3 most american lines I've ever heard

[okiepokertraveler]

Also would like to add that Kildall didn't become depressed. He sold his company DRI for millions and retired early, and very happy. His death was a tragic accident, and had nothing to do with depression or his lifestyle.

Kildall deserves credit, that no one seems to be giving him. He created the first OS. Bravo

Gary "Killed all" His opportunities to build an empire

[woly]

Ive heard this story before but thhats his fault you have to treat all your customers the same

[VictorF]

If you're going to be just flying a plane instead of rescheduling for a meeting that somebody spent time to set up, then you probably deserved it.

This is the reason to his success, he said in an interview that he never misses an opportunity and that's what he did.

[altera]

As someone who did a little bit of coding once, the dead outside a bar is accurate.

[minhqun]

I refuse to believe someone who at one points in his life owned a plane & a tech company could be truly "broke"
Worst case scenario: he found management work for some old acquaintance, own a modest 3 bedrooms house and 2 cars

[digitalist]

This is why kids dont take opportunities for granted
And when u need them u may not have much of opportunity so dont take it for granted

[annabelvb]

This is a very edited version of the truth. From multiple sources:

IBM approached Digital Research in 1980, at Bill Gates' suggestion, to negotiate the purchase of a forthcoming version of CP/M called CP/M-86 for the IBM PC. Gary had left negotiations to his wife, Dorothy, as he usually did, while he and colleague and developer of MP/M operating system Tom Rolander used Gary's private airplane to deliver software to manufacturer Bill Godbout. Before the IBM representatives would explain the purpose of their visit, they insisted that Dorothy sign a non-disclosure agreement. On the advice of DRI attorney Gerry Davis, Dorothy refused to sign the agreement without Gary's approval. Gary returned in the afternoon and tried to move the discussion with IBM forward, and accounts disagree on whether he signed the non-disclosure agreement, as well as if he ever met with the IBM representatives.

I heard Bill bought QDOS for $50k. Changed a few things. Called it DOS.

[DatGuyYesa]

“But ended up dead and broke”
So straight forward I chuckled

[Nanagos]

Fun fact: Q-Dos means "Quick and Dirty Operating System"
