That subtitle - "The Creator of Steve Jobs ... and Bill Gates" - doesn't seem to make historical sense.<p>Unix had very little influence in the early part of Jobs' and Gates' careers, and the article doesn't give any substance to that connection.<p>The original Apple and Apple2 didn't have anything Unix-like. I think the earliest connection to Unix would have been with the Apple Lisa.<p>Microsoft's Altair BASIC also had no basis in Unix. It was developed on a PDP-10, and the BASIC language predates Unix.<p>The MS-DOS heritage through CP/M might include some Unix, but that wasn't part of the creation of Gates, and as Wikipedia notes:<p>> CP/M's command-line interface was patterned after the operating systems from Digital Equipment, such as RT-11 for the PDP-11 and OS/8 for the PDP-8.<p>Unix was written first for the PDP-7 then for the PDP-11, so has a shared heritage.
