NwaAmaikpe: 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. |

NwaAmaikpe: See this one speaking from his anus. How much do you know about Microsoft and Paul Allen. Well, i am not going to educate you but one thing i must tell is that, without Paul Allen, there would not have been Microsoft you are hearing today. You are too old to be this foolish. |

NwaAmaikpe: 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? Anyway, it's business and double crossing is allowed. 1 Like |
