He's a total legend, yet apparently he's never met Bill Gates in person from what he said in an interview in the Dave's Garage YouTube channel a few years ago. You'd think that someone who's been that prominent for so long in the company would have been invited to a company dinner where he was present or something.
Microsoft's a big company, and billg "stepped down" in 2000. Raymond is still working, so they overlap less than may appear.
He has stories on his blog about windows 2 iirc, so there was an overlap from a time where they were still relatively small. So I think it's a bit odd they never talked or met.
