RECLAMATION TO MICROSOFT

I AM THE AUTHOR OF THE IDEA OF WINDOWS


I am the intellectual author of the central idea of the popular and famous operating system multitasking Microsoft Windows. Of that which, so far I have not perceived neither a single cent. Now, I want to claim openly this my invention, so that Microsoft gives me an economic participation of this that today in day we all have to the reach in our desk.

What I will narrate next, puts in risk my name and my reputation like professional, but on behalf of the justice of God it is strictly the true.

These facts happened around the years 1984-85, when I was still student of the career of electronic engineering, in the Faculty of Engineering of the University Mayor de San Andrés, in the city of La Paz, Republic of Bolivia.

One afternoon when I attended one of the laboratories in the matter of microprocessors. A student of the same career but of superior degree came to me, to which I will refer in the successive thing as Mr. I.Z. because with the course of the years, their identity something is blurred in my memory. However, it is possible to obtain some information about this Mister, in a bank here in Bolivia, where we were co-workers in 1993.

Then it happened that Mr. I.Z. formulated me friendly the following question: ¿How would it be possible to implement a system based on an only microprocessor, so that this carries out several tasks simultaneously?

I responded him that in fact, it was not possible to execute several tasks at the same time with the participation of an only microprocessor, but that yes it was possible by means of a commutation of time. Then he replied: ¿But how would you make that? Then I was more explicit and I responded him, saving the states of the microprocessor before executing the following task. ¿What is that? Mr. I.Z said., I then passed to explain about the registers of a microprocessor. Then he asked: ¿But how would you exchange the different tasks? I responded him by means of a sweeping of frequency, and I passed to detail the process. Then he asked again: ¿And how would you achieve there to be communication among the tasks? I responded him, by means of messages to the style of a central mail.

Then I had to cut the conversation, because I should present my practice in that laboratory. However, when the class had concluded, Mr. I.Z. was awaiting me and he stopped me to ask persistently. I didn't understand the last part, explain to me in a paper. I then made a diagram to explain all that that at the moment is denominated as Multithread Processing. Then Mr. I.Z. asked again: ¿But do you believe that a microprocessor all that can make? I responded him that yes and that at most would elevate the temperature of the chip for the increase of the operative load in this electronic component.

Then, when I prepared to retire, Mr. I.Z. stopped me again. Then I did tell myself: ¿Now what it will be, what he wants? But I was surprised with the new question of Mr. I.Z.. He told me: ¿How will we solve this? ¿How much do you want me to pay you or perhaps, do you want to work in this?

Here Mr. I.Z. was demonstrating to be a gentleman. I then told him: that I didn't have time because I wanted to complete my studies and that instead of that, I put in their hands a future in their life and, if with the course of the years the occasion was given, then they should reward me in the correct proportion. ¿Truth Mr. I.Z.? Then we do seal this pact narrowing our hands and then we do say goodbye.

Little time later, one month more or less, I found Mr. I.Z. in the corridor of the career of electronic, accompanied by two foreigners. One of these foreigners used glasses, I am sure he was Mr. Bill Gates.

Surely, during that little time, Mr. I.Z. established contact with Microsoft and he also commented that I was who had given him that idea. Then, these gentlemen surely wanted to know me. They saw me and me to them. It is possible that these gentlemen had tried to speak to me. But there was not any dialogue. This memory, checks the relationship of Mr. I.Z. with Microsoft. What confirms me therefore that Microsoft knows that this narration, is trustworthy a hundred percent.

Could anyone say that it was very silly to have given him in that way the whole idea to Mr. I.Z. ¿But how was I able to guess the transcendency that would have this idea? But the most important thing in this case is that the idea I wrote it in a paper and that is enough to establish my royalties and my right of intellectual property. That which, just as I have already related it, it is of the perfect knowledge of Microsoft with all certainty.

Really, I would never have noticed of this fact of the operating system Microsoft Windows, of not being because at the moment I am developing a new and interesting System of Artificial Intelligence, in the one that am developing my own engine for voice recognition, similar as when I demonstrated it openly the year 1992 in front of the television cameras. In the course of these new developments, I had to read the provided programming manuals for Microsoft, in those that I discovered that that idea that I gave to Mr. I.Z. those years in those that recently the denominated D.O.S. had appeared, it is nothing else neither anything less than the central idea of the very famous operating system Microsoft Windows.

I write this story with the special purpose of giving with the whereabouts of Mr. I.Z. Because we made a pact of gentlemen and now it has arrived the time of completing.

Therefore, I want to claim openly, to the world Corporation Microsoft, begin an investigation to clarify the responsibility of the idea of what they have denominated as Multithread Processing, and that who show the respective patents, they have with all certainty some nexus with Mr. I.Z. whose nationality is Bolivian.

Microsoft has developed and marketed this idea thoroughly, in different areas of the industry and technology at world level. I consider that Microsoft owes me the economic recognition that corresponds me with all justice. Because this scientific contribution is not able to neither it should be as incognito. I am the man that has provided this idea and of course, I have that capacity and much more at the moment. To ignore this my reclamation, it would be to ignore my contribution to the humanity, an ingratitude. Therefore, I want to claim the intellectual property of this idea. I am the legitimate intellectual author of Multithread Processing.

I want to suppose that during these twenty-four years that have lapsed since I provided this idea, Microsoft didn't know where to locate me. But now I am here. I am convinced that in the United States of America, it is known the meaning of the ethics, the honor and the respect. For this reason, under the code of the ethics, the honor and the respect, I am making this reclamation. Because I believe firmly that Microsoft will know to recognize the legitimate creator of Multithread Processing.

Ladies and gentlemen of the National and International press, and who read this story, I request you they diffuse it thoroughly. With the exclusive purpose of clarifying this allegation.

Please, for who wants to contact me or to request more information, I am available in the addresses of electronic mail indicated up. Thank you for your deference.
