Paul Allen was a scheming narcissistic scum.
Microsoft is better off without his negative energy.

He brought very little to the table, wasn't keen about innovations because his only interest was just the profitability of the company.

Rubbish ignorant talk.

Paul was the more ideas and innovative guy. His brain was full of them. Microsoft suffered innovation-wise when he left.

Gate's forte was more of decision making, deal making and the business side of things. He left Microsoft when he couldn't deal with Gate's crude human management.

They are just beginning to get it right again after Gates left and put the right people to head the company.

I always thought you were making technical statements, but I've realised that maybe you're just saying all the shitt you're saying to gain cheap credits from Nairalanders. Go do your research again on Paul Allen.

This is not true and fair to Allen. Dude was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma during the earliest stages of Microsoft and had to undergo treatment. How do you expect him to keep up with tabs regarding the firm's development?

@Topic: The same Bill Gates who wanted conniving with Steve Ballmer to reduce Allen's stake in the company? grin

Anyway, it's business and double crossing is allowed.

I have a Lumia 540 phone.

I suggest you go for android phones such as infinix, techno, etc

Microsoft phones as in the Lumia types have fewer apps in their STORE which is the equivalent of android playstore or google playstore.

Lumia serves me very very well. I'd a Lumia phone but it was stolen. Using a stock Android phone now but it is incomparable to my Lumia.
