IBM contracted with Bill Gates and Allen about a year after you left? Is this right? They were to develope the next OS. Is it possible that IBM would have asked you to create the next OS being a Mainframe Programmer?
When did you get a chance to meet Bill Gates and what was the topic of conversation?
How did your knowledge from IBM translate into creating the first Sierra Games and your input into AGI?
I looked into the requirements for creating a Sierra game and the swapping of pixels. There appears to be a connection between how Sierra programs functioned and Windows handling of “Windows”.
It would not supprise me if your past work with IBM gave Bill Gates the tools he needed to create Windows. Not at all saying Bill Gates was not a wiz himself.
