my mistake, if so. I seem to remember gates stealing something that already existed in the medical field for whatever reason. maybe their database structure or something, I can't remember. I could well be wrong here, but I read an in depth bio of his that was truthful about his less than selfless business practices and it mentioned something in the medical field that eventually got incorporated into the first windows, which was basically him stealing it and patenting it himself.Like he did with DOS/QDOS
