“Now I understand why he called it Microsoft”- An African American Lady
Someone told me this interesting story a few years back which I cannot confirm its veracity. It was several decades ago that Bill Gates met this young beautiful African American and immediately fell in love with her. They speak for few moments and Bill invited her to a date. The young woman was excited to meet Bill and was particularly enamored by his intelligence. She would want the date to happen yesterday. To her shock, Bill proposed that the date held in a week’s time. Well, what could she do? She agreed and on the set date, she had a very good time with Bill. Fast forward to the day that the lady was visiting Bill Gate’s house for the first time. She was happy with the level of organisation and after meals, they retired to the bedroom. Not too long after, the lady stormed out of the bedroom looking very disappointed. She was speaking to no one in particular, but was heard saying, “now, I understand why he named it Microsoft”. That was obviously years before Bill met Melinda.
