When we found out about chip technology, and the miracle of being able to improve the power of the chip exponentially, we realised that computers had a very bright future...
The personal computer revolution got started in 1975, that’s when I left college and started Microsoft. These last 22 years have really been amazing, every prediction we’ve made about improvements have all come true. As we look ahead, the pace of innovation is not slowing down, in fact if anything it’s speeding up. Very high speed processors like 300 MHz Pentiums, or new 64-bit processors that we’re already developing Windows NT for: incredible storage capacity, which well let us store, not just data, but also digital video as well...
