I didn't believe pcs were needed in homes until my coworker showed me the internet and how easy it was to get porn. I ordered a home computer and modem later that day.
I wonder to what extent gates et al foresaw the ubiquity of the internet, because I remember at that time a lot of people just didn't see a compelling reason to own a pc.

Considering his need to push IE and later integrate it heavily into the OS, and go after Netscape. I'm thinking he knew all too well.

Wasn't gates actually a little slow to realise how important the Internet would become?

If he was, I'd wager it was so early on he really didn't have the resources to invest in it. So would've been best to leave to 3rd parties.
