Based, I work on McDonalds myself and through the underground connections I have gotten from working there I can confirm this is true

XSN is a SCAM.

Devs can't even make a simple DEX for over 2 years

Sorry you lost so much in this shitcoin.

If it's a scam then why did Bill Gates leave Xbox and go all in?

Now this is from my co-worker and mind you he's, an assistant manager. So he's pretty corporate.
To understand Bill Gates, you need to understand "Window panes". No grid of glass can be held without these panes. They are no more or no less different from a conductor who organizes the many notes that constitute a symphony piece with impeccable timing.
Window panes can be people. They can be non-profits like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or instruments of control and influence over government, economics, and acedmia. Unsurprisingly, too, they can be blockchains.

Let's step back in time for a moment.

The year is 1981. IBM is under suspicion for anti-trust from multiple angles. In a move somewhat unorthodox to their highly proprietary business practices of the time, IBM put a skunk works team to the task to develop a standard of computer hardware that could be made up entirely of 3rd party components (sans BIOS).
Microsoft is still fresh-faced, and Bill Gates (then known as Little Bill by his friends) sees the opportunity to provide this ambitious project with a dedicated operating system.
He buys QDOS from a small firm in Seattle for a song, polishes it slightly, and sells it to IBM. The IBM PC and DOS are born.
Where some may see a smart business process, Little Bill saw Window panes.

Imagine still holding scam coins in 2020 during a total collapse. You should be focused on dips from could-be 1,000x's like BDK (bidesk) pulling a Binance in the next year.

Let's rotate the clock a little.
It's 1985. Big Blue causes immeasurable harm to itself by not adopting the 386 in fear that it would hurt the sale of their minicomputers. Compaq pays good money on clean-room reverse engineering to make their own BIOS. After a legal victory, a flood of computer clones came ushering in. IBM's PC market share never recovered.

However, there was still one shot for them to succeed. DOS was all the rage, but it wasn't without it's limitations. As a result, they sought to develop a far more capable operating system for the future and gain a foothold in the OS market. IBM approached Bill Gates with a lucrative offer to co-develop this ambitious project. After a joint agreement, work on what would become OS/2 began.

How do you elevate beyond the status of a mere killer app and reach transcendence in the realm of the titans? How did IBM lose control of everything it ever invented? How did Apple invent so little and still sell so much?

Window panes.

Let's jump forward. It's 1995. The OS/2 partnership ended on a bitter note after a lot of in-fighting.

A major window pane were the RTM contracts that enabled Bill Gates' enterprise to ship DOS and Windows with computers so consumers wouldn't have to buy an operating system separately. The market share gained from this put him in a strategic position to dominate OS market share. He brings on a talented group to take what they had co-developed with IBM and use it to directly compete with them instead. IBM continues on with OS/2 alone and, while it makes some notable strides, it fails to gain traction outside of a few niche markets. NT OS/2 becomes Windows NT 3.11. Windows is well-known. OS/2 a very distant second.

1994 saw OS/2 Warp, the last stand. It had aggressive marketing, but it couldn't quite live up to the hype around Windows 95. Now back to Bill. The launch of Windows 95 was a momentous occasion with a lot of hype surrounding it.
Microsoft offered to strike the same deal they had done with Compaq. IBM was absolutely bitter and refused. It was so bad, they held out until 15 minutes before Win95 launched. Again, this their PC sales miserably as they were slow to market.

How does a swifty mouse cuck a lion in 14 years time - so hard that the lion bitches out from it's own kingdom?

Window panes.

It's 1998. Microsoft is on top of the world, but the success comes with a price.

Like clockwork, Bill Gates ends up in the same hot chair IBM found itself in the 1970s. The US government was quite serious in it's antitrust investigations, as there was substantial evidence that Microsoft had monopolized certain aspects of the market.

For a man of window panes, this is utterly embarrassing. To win the heavyweight champion and then trip on a nail.

Bill had reached the limits. He knew there was only one way to ascend beyond.

CHARITY IS A MASSIVE WINDOW PANE OF INFLUENCE.

The year is 2000. Bill Clinton distracted everyone and the antitrust investigations cooled. You have two choices
>stay in a company that had become as red-taped like the one you outfoxed in the 80s
or
>use your status and fame cautiously, reserving them like a powerful weapon, while making liberal use of philanthropy money to establish yourself as a man above men
>genius
>charitable
and therefore
>societal expert
At what point do you say, go ahead Steve Ballmer, be my Dmitry Medvedev, when there are so many more window panes to ascend to?

When the world sees you as a humanitarian, the world becomes your window pane.

My district manager (4 whopper pins for attendance points) has been said to have witnessed the moment in time when Bill Gates flew to Japan and slaughtered dozens of Japanese executives working for Sega Enterprises Ltd.

It was ruthless, but he knew Sega had Yakuza connections and didn't want the fuzz pokin around their HQ. He then proceeded to market his Direct X Box to Japanese gamedev studios like Capcom and Tecmo. Like IBM before them, Sega had simply asked Bill to help them ensure they had a friendly SDK to develop with.

He buys Bungie. Halo is an immense success, and entire generations of youth now see and know Microsoft and know it well. More importantly, they know it's founder and they love him.

You don't understand the tech. XSN has the advantage over Bidesk in every way imaginable.
