Most of them are videos shorter than 10 minutes with a quick look to all the main events that built that company.

It is amazing to see how two teenagers with small idea, a program called BASIC and big ambitions made the most powerful company in the world.

I know, there are different versions about the actual ownership of the original program and the idea, some say that Bill Gates stoled the idea to other students, some says that they bought the program… still, you need more than an idea or a incredible program to build an empire.
