People inside Microsoft have openly related a story about Bill Gates' initial evaluation of Office 2007. He congratulated them on a number of new features, but the features were new with Office 97. Why would anyone at Microsoft expose that Bill Gates didn't know about features that had been in one of their premier products for ten years?

Lame beyond infinity.
I doubt gates wouldn't know about his own software line. I bet even now, he knows exactly what is going on in every corner of his ex-company. He didn't get to where he is by being stupid you know.

Thats bullshit !!! Can you expect the MD of Hindusthan Uniliver to remember every little component and their mixing ratio used in their Lux soap ???

Bill Gates knows enough...and his bank statement is a proof of that !

He knows how to do business and he is best in it . we should always recall him as a businessmen rather trying to prove that he is an idiot . he must be remembering the 'figures' he earned on office 97 or any other products.

Bill Gates was very concerned about his business and he knew about the smallest codes that went into making his program. I was referring to an essay about him as a bussinessman as I planned to rip it off for my Essay Cup Comp. and it was that time that I came to know how good he was.

...and he knew about the smallest codes that went into making his program...
And he coded Microsoft Bob in assembler all by himself. His even donated his left nut to a programmer who re-coded the same in raw electric signals. Now that's hardcore.

Cut the crap. He was good at coding in his early years, but it's his business prowess that he'll be remembered for.
