We thank Gates and remember Windows
The techies in the field cry like the fox that did not get the sour grapes. Yes DOS was born from CPM and Windows from Xerox.
But we the common end-user are always thankful to the era of Word, Outlook, XP and many more, that changed our lives for ever. And Gates has left the IT world wondering with the Internet revolution.
His popularity in India is such that in Tamil films he is always referred to as successful and the richest man. There are many books in Tamil on him. And Bill Gates has chosen to work mostly in India, dedicating his time for philanthropy.
