A Book on Bill Gates that Has the Feel of the Movie "Social Network"

link here to article

This article (Via Manan Shukla who has been reading a lot) describes the relationship between Bill Gates and Paul Allen who was one of the co-founders of Microsoft. One part of the story is about Allen's resentment over a plot between Gates and Balmer to dilute Allen's share of Microsoft stock. This was one of the plots in "Social Network". Allen is worth around $9 billion today and he has been successful in several areas. He is also a big philanthropist. Its amazing, however, how things that affected him a long time ago have been festering in Allen's mind so much that he decided to make them public.
