...is that a booger on his left sleeve?

Looks more like pizza drippings or mac and cheese.

I bought a copy of OS2 Warp and part of the install included a video of Gates at a convention, when he was working close with IBM, saying that OS2 was the operating system of the future.

Pretty funny even then.

Didn't Gates get (steal) the idea for the GUI in Windows from Apple?

The information superhighway is apparently not the only place where Bill Gates has been pulled over on suspicion of speeding.

A police mug shot of Gates from a 1977 arrest for bad driving appears on the cover of the September issue of Brill's Content magazine. The photo shows a nerdy-looking Gates with his boyish smile, tinted glasses and shaggy hair nearly covering his ears.

The photo has drawn attention to a driving record that includes two arrests in New Mexico in the 1970s and one in California in 1989.

The 42-year-old Microsoft chairman said he was 21 when the photo was taken.

Gates was arrested in 1975 for speeding and driving without a license and in 1977 for running a stop sign and driving without a license, Albuquerque police said. He was arrested again in 1989 in California on suspicion of drunken driving, a charge that was later reduced.

Gates first saw it when representatives of the city of Albuquerque asked if they could release it to Brill's Content, which had requested it, said Dean Katz, a Microsoft spokesman.

Gates showed the photo at a speech in May in what Brill's Content said was some pre-emptive damage control by the computer billionaire.

Looks like some kind of colored beverage. It's what happens when you eat and drink in front of the keyboard. Heck, we ALL should know about that!

The bootscreen on Windows 1.0 shows a 1985 date.

As does the "about" screen.

And Apple stole it from the Xerox 8010 Star while Jobs was visiting Xerox PARC.

The Xerox 8010 Star in 1981 displaying a bitmap display, mouse, laser printer hookups, WYSIWYG word processing, Ethernet connection, and a graphical user interface!

The computer to the far right behind Gates is a Mac Plus or a Mac SE. I had both. No Lisa in the picture (I had that, too). All were better than any IBM product.

Not surprising Gates had one, as he essentially stole the Mac hierarchial filing system to make Windows.

Microsoft was never an innovator, just a master at commercializing products.
