Paul Allen Has Bad Things to Say About Bill Gates

The Independent writes about Paul Allen's new memoir, Gates is a ruthless schemer, says his Microsoft co-founder. "Mr Allen's forthcoming book reveals a deep-seated bitterness at the heart of the famous relationship that created the most successful software company the world has ever seen. In Idea Man: A Memoir, Allen also claims that Gates never gave him enough credit for his contribution to Microsoft's earliest development, nor a big enough share of the company. In effect, Mr Allen is accusing his friend of bullying him out of shares that would have been worth billions of dollars."
