*I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing enough freedom for 10 years. That is, a move from 64k to 640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didn't - it took about only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem.
**1989 speech on the history of the microcomputer industry. [http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/media/1989%20Bill%20Gates%20Talk%20on%20Microsoft.html]
== Ten onrechte toegeschreven aan Gates ==
*"640 kB geheugen moet voor iedereen genoeg zijn." (1981)
** Gates zou dit gezegd hebben in 1981, toen de limiet voor het conventionele geheugen van DOS vastgesteld werd op 10 maal zoveel als dat van zijn [[computer]]. Gates zelf ontkent deze quote.
<!--* 640K ought to be enough for anybody.
** Often attributed to Gates in 1981. Gates considered the IBM PC's 640kB program memory a significant breakthrough over 8-bit systems that were typically limited to 64kB, but he has denied making this remark. Also see the [[#RAM1989|1989]] and [[#RAM1993|1993]] remarks above.
:: 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.
::* Gates (19 January 1996), "[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.folklore.computers/msg/99ce4b0555bf35f4 Career Opportunities in Computing—and More]". ''Bloomberg Business News'' -->
