Microsoft Revives Gates' First OS Source Code
Microsoft's recent release of the source code for Bill Gates' first operating system is a fascinating glimpse into computing history. While nostalgic for those who remember programming on the Commodore 64, the code's utility today is questionable. The simplicity of the OS reflects a bygone era, where efficiency trumped features. - Pros: A valuable resource for historians and retro enthusiasts. - Cons: Limited practical applications in modern computing. For developers, it serves as a reminder of how far we've come, yet offers little in terms of modern programming insights. Ultimately, this release is more of a historical artifact than a tool for current software development. Engagement from the retro community could lead to interesting projects, though.
