I think this is the link. https://images.gatesnotes.com/12514eb8-7b51-008e-41a9-512542...

It's 100 MB and 157 pages.

This is quite a gem of a blog article from Gates. Didn't expect this!

The scrolling effect is very disorienting for me. I want the read the article, but it’s disrupting my focus significantly. Is there a version without all to fancy effects?

How is that surprising? Last project where he contributed code was Kyocera Kyotronic 85/ Olivetti M10/NEC PC-8201/Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 8085 based portable.
