For Microsoft's 50th Bill Gates wrote this (neatly animated) blog entry, and scanned the original Altair Basic source code print out.

As much as I'm a proud Linux user and Microsoft aren't at all in line with my values, I upvoted as this is massively relevant to the world of retro computing, and I found it interesting. :)

Guessing a lot of folks will have reflexively downvoted based on the red rag that is the word Microsoft, but nice to read historical stuff like this, thank you for sharing it! :)
