摘要

Gary Kildall created the first operating system for personal computers- nearly a decade before Bill Gates signed his epochal deal with IBM for MS-DOS. Gates went on to become the world's richest man; Kildall died in a brawl, scarcely remembered outside Silicon Valley for his seminal contribution. Dan Bricklin created the first spreadsheet program, VisiCalc, in 1979. After a costly legal spat with partner Bob Frankston, Bricklin sold out for less than $3 million to Lotus, which created a nine-figure fortune for Mitch Kapor from its VisiCalc imitation called 1-2-3. And even that killer app didn't make the really big bucks for its owners. The biggest spreadsheet fortune wound up in the coffers of Gates' Microsoft, whose 1-2-3 knockoff, Excel, is the market leader today.
