I don't know about marketed, or what influence he had on it. I think that J Allard may have more influence on that than Bill, especially since he just got nice promotion. I'm not trying to mock Bill, because as a member of the software development community I can say that he has single-handily flipped it on its head with his statement from the 80s. Marketed?

Such a simple looking man, but the gears that are turning in that cranium are vast. I know some people like to say that Microsoft copies, and infringes, but belive me, there is a lot of originality that Bill has brought to Microsoft, and that will sorely be missed.

I did everything that I could to stay awake but it was just too early. I kept falling asleep and snoring while he was onstage. My brother-in-law kept jabbing me in the side to wake up since we weren't far from the stage. I always wondered if he heard me snoring.
