Paul Allen: Bill Gates schemed to 'rip me off' during early Microsoft years  

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen claims Bill Gates schemed to "rip me off" in the early years of the company, according to his account of development of the software maker that changed the computing world.

Allen, whose role at Microsoft earned him a fortune estimated at $13bn (£8.1bn), paints a picture of a young Gates who was driven to succeed and prepared to push his employees very hard, according to an extract from his autobiography published in Vanity Fair magazine.

The pair first met as high school students in Seattle in the late 1960s before they moved to Boston, where Gates studied at Harvard and Allen was working for Honeywell. Now 58, Allen says upon first meeting Gates at school, he quickly noticed three things: "He was really smart, he was really competitive, he wanted to show you how smart he was."

The relationship that started in Seattle created a company that would do more than any other to bring computing into the home. In the extract from Idea Man: A memoir by the Co-Founder of Microsoft, Allen says the pair considered calling their company Allen & Gates but felt it sounded like a law firm. The name Microsoft, writes Allen, was his and "we both knew instantly that the name was right. Micro-Soft was simple and straightforward."

But according to the extract, their working relationship was not always so. Gates used arguments and discussions to get things done, says Allen, but did not pull rank if an employee came up with a better idea to solve a problem. "Even relatively passive people learned to stand their ground and match their boss decibel for decibel," Allen writes.

Allen, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphona, a type of cancer, in 1982, says that when forming the company he had agreed to a 64pc to 36pc split between them in recognition of the fact that Gates had dropped out of Harvard to start programming.
