(I'd get in trouble if I offered this opinion on my own, but I guess if it's attributed to Bill Gates, he can probably say what he wants to say about Microsoft. It might be said of many others, of course.:-) In _EE_Times_, 16 October 1989, Intel VP David House says: "Bill Gates [software maker Microsoft's chairman] says no matter how much more power we can supply, he'll develop some really exciting software that will bring the machine to its knees."

"no matter how much more power we can supply, he'll need more to develop some really exciting software that will bring the machine to its knees..."
