    "I was a zealot. I didn’t believe in weekends. I didn’t believe in vacations. I knew everybody’s license plate so I knew when they were coming and going. That was my life: doing great software," Bill Gates said of single-mindedly building Microsoft.http://nyti.ms/2FpUxeV

        Who except an obsessive compulsive would memorize license plate numbers? "Are they working!? Are they adding to my glory!?"

        “I knew everybody’s license plate so I knew when they were coming and going. That was my life: doing great software.” That’s not “doing software”. That’s something else entirely.

        I always thought that effective marketing built Microsoft. It certainly wasn’t good software. Ask anyone who had to support it year in and year out.
