I have also read many books and articles about Bill, but never read anything about that. If you should ever find it again please post a ref. When I reflect back I seem to remember that IBM was in somewhat of a time crisis to find a solution for their O.S. issue and were looking everywhere for an answer. So they must of had a lot of leads. (I will do some research on this area myself), I just think it was pure luck. But what happened in future years with MSFT is where the real story is interesting.

O.T. Another and even more interesting story is about Howard Hughes and what he was able to do with what he got from his father.
