MS-UNO, the predecessor to the MS-DOS operating system, was the first disk operating system ever programmed by Microsoft. The brainchild of Bill Gates's 16th century Spanish ancestor, Enrique Iglesias Gates, incorporated the latest interface technologies of its day such as the quill pen and parchment scraps, far outpacing contemporary rivals (who were working on a primitive display unit composed entirely of colored apples). Dismissed as a revolutionary in his day, Gates went into hiding, and his discoveries were only clumsily implemented 400 years later.

abstract	MS-UNO, the predecessor to the MS-DOS operating system, was the first disk operating system ever programmed by Microsoft. The brainchild of Bill Gates's 16th century Spanish ancestor, Enrique Iglesias Gates, incorporated the latest interface technologies of its day such as the quill pen and parchment scraps, far outpacing contemporary rivals (who were working on a primitive display unit composed entirely of colored apples). Dismissed as a revolutionary in his day, Gates went into hiding, and his discoveries were only clumsily implemented 400 years later. Slaves from Africa were noted for being brilliant programmers for the operating system and were able to translate it into their own languages. They also programmed complex GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces), often puzzling their masters, who were known to be "as dull as logs". Abraham Lincoln was an excellent programmer himself. He was also a fan of the GUIs the slaves used. However, John Wilkes Booth hated the GUIs, and tried shooting a programmer sitting next to Lincoln. Fortunately, he missed.
