I met Bill 2 times

once at the west coast computer faire  San Francisco Civic auditorium  1985 

I spoke with him and asked him about the high price of MS DOS

He said "For  every copy we sell ten are copied illegally."

I  thought he was personable  and low key, this was early in his career.

In 1994 at Comdex in Las Vegas I met him again and had a similar conversation but this time I noted that the price had gone up and the software was copy protected. He smiled  .. He was a big deal then and Microsoft was on the rise big time.

My impressions . he was a level headed geek with good business sense.
