摘要

This month, Charles Simonyi-Microsoft's former chief architect, the man behind its most famous applications as well as the method of writing code the company's programmers have used for 25 years-is headed for space.

Don't think that's how I'd spend that kind of cash, but then again he earned his billions with the kind of programming genius I can't begin to comprehend, so I don't think our thought processes are comparable.
