Diskusia:Bill Gates

Citát neprešiel

• 640K ought to be enough for anybody.
  • Often attributed to Gates in 1981. Although Gates has expressed similar opinions at other times [1], this particular quote has been denied by Gates:

I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time... I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.

• Bloomberg Business News (19 January 1996); also WIRED (16 January 1997)

• Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited to 640K? The machine was going to be 512K at one point, and we kept pushing it up. I never said that statement — I said the opposite of that.

• U.S. News & World Report (20 August 2001)
