Is it true that Bill Gates started programming BASIC at the age of 13?

Well, there's his bio...don't think you could get much closer than that...it says he started programming at age 13, didn't specifically say Basic.

that was the one i saw before asking this question. thought it was BASIC in particular.

He might have been 14 when he started using BASIC. I'm only 50% sure, though.

I though Microsoft created BASIC?

Who doesnt?

I wonder what IBM thinks of what happened...they lost out big-time. What would Windows be like now if they were still working together? Would it be called Windows? Would the prices still be bloated? Would it be better, or worse? So many questions that will never be answered...oh well...!
