    at an point managed by Bill Gates now wife Melinda Microsoft killed it in one year
    after launching in it 1995. Because the software demand more performance then
    typical computer hardware could deliver at the time and there wasn’t and equally
    large market Gate later wrote “Bob Died”. and I can personally attest and its poor
    performance on “typical” PC hardware of time.
