The numerological dynamic
Allen was the technical visionary who first saw the potential of the microcomputer; Gates was the business strategist and deal-maker who turned that vision into the most successful software company in history.
Allen saw the future first and had the technical knowledge to describe it; Gates had the hardheaded business instinct to capitalise on it before anyone else.
