Asked if Microsoft would make a version of it for IBM PCs, Gates did not reveal the bargain he had made with Jobs but merely answered that " in time" that might happen.

当被问及微软是否会为个人电脑开发 Excel 软件时，盖茨没有透露他和乔布斯的契约，只是说“以后”可能会。

So Gates was within his rights when, in November 1983, he revealed that Microsoft planned to develop a new operating system for IBM PCs featuring a graphical interface with windows, icons, and a mouse for point-and-click navigation.

因此，1983 年 11 月，完全在盖茨权力范围内他宣布微软计划为 IBM 个人电脑开发一套新的操作系统，该操作系统采用图形界面，有窗口、图标和可以指向并点击的鼠标。
