What was the greatest business deal of all time?

 In 1980, IBM was the giant. No one came close. They approached a small company- Microsoft when they required an operating system in their new PC. Big mistake.

Bill Gates spotted the opportunity and did not procrastinate. He made one major point during the deal and that is, Microsoft would retain the ownership of the software. IBM didn’t care. They were specialized in hardware money. That decision it made was everything.

This is the twist about it, Microsoft did not even have an OS.

So Gates was quick. He purchased a crude and incomplete system named QDOS at only $75,000. No drama, no delay. After that, he cleaned it, changed its name to MS-DOS, and prepared it.

And the very thrust: the business was not exclusive. Microsoft had the ability to sell the same software to anybody. And they did.

IBM believed that they were in the lead. As a matter of fact, they gave the reign to another person.

Imitation of IBM PCs became rampant. Each of them required an OS. Microsoft was ready. They did not sell machines, they sold the key to machines.

Hardware at IBM was replaceable. The software of Microsoft was inevitable.

This wasn’t luck. It was promptitude, rapidity, and keenness.

A purchase costing $75,000 became worldwide domination.

Not a partnership. A slow motion takeover.

 There are lot of handsome actors that have graced the silver screen of Karnataka.

However Handsomeness doesn't mean talent.

Dr.Rajkumar (1929–2006) - the greatest Kannada actor and legend was an handsome gentelmen and known for simplicity and down to earth behavior.

Shashi Kumar (b.1965-) was very handsome before the 1998 car accident. He was a good dancer and skilled actor

People would say Anant nag (b.1948-) but he was a Konkani not a kannadiga at all. So his mother tongue is Konkani and he grew up mostly in Mumbai along with his younger brother late Shankar Nag (b.1954–d.1990).

Tamilian V. Ravichandran was handsome actor in younger years but he isn't a kannadiga and cannot be considered as a Kannada hero because his mother tongue is Tamil. He's one of the tamilians who found huge success in Karnataka and kannada film land.

Late Vishnuvardhan(1950–2010) was handsome in his initial years when he was young but in his 40’s and 50’s he wasn't considered handsome because he got diabetes at very young age.

Ambarish(1952–2018) was tall, dusky and handsome but later he too was aged bad and average looking after aging due to his high consumption of Alcohol.

Remake star Sudeep (b.1971- ) at 54 doesn't look handsome but many of his blind fans consider him handsome.

Upendra Rao (n.1968-) was handsome in his younger days due to his punk hairstyle and signature style. He is the most stylish actor in Karnataka Kannada film industry. At 57 years he's looks decent and correct for his age.

Upendra now at 58
