The IBM AT 80286 wasn't released until 1984.
Hm. And the Mac in the picture wasn't released until 1984.
So either the date attributed to the picture is wrong, or Bill Gates was photographed with advance editions of systems produced by IBM and Apple. Somehow I doubt that the NDA allowed that sort of thing...

Don't be so sure, I think that notebook contains Bush-Guard memos, printed on a daisywheel.
