Bill Gates: There should be a very large sacrifice made during the early years of a startup

It really is true that I didn't believe in weekends. I didn't believe in vacations. I knew everybody's license plate so I could tell you over the last month when their car had come and gone from the parking lot. I don't recommend it. Once I got into my 30s I could hardly even imagine how I had done that. But yes I have a fairly hardcore view that there should be a very large sacrifice made during those early years in the software world particularly for platforms. These are winner take all markets. The greatest mistake ever. Whatever mismanagement I engaged in that caused Microsoft not to be what Android is, that was a natural thing for Microsoft to win and it really is winner take all. If you're there with half as many apps or 90% as many apps you're on your way to complete doom. There's room for exactly one non Apple operating system and what's that worth? 400 billion that would be transferred from company G to company M.
