Are torrents legal?

Torrents themselves are not illegal. They are simply small files that help a BitTorrent client connect to a tracker and find peers to download files from. Nor is downloading stuff using torrents necessarily illegal. The BitTorrent protocol is a legitimate way to distribute large files without straining a server too much. It is used for legal software like Linux distros and OpenOffice, as well as some public domain music and videos.

Using torrents to download copyrighted material without permission is, of course, illegal.

Who invented the first Micorsoft operating system?

AnswerActually it was Gary Kildall who invented the first operating system... Patterson bought it for 5 bucks at a hackers computer store. All Patterson did was switch the A drive and the C drive and called it his own. IBM went to Kildall first but he wasn't home and his wife wouldn't sign the non-disclosure paper. Then Bill Gates called Patterson and gave him 50,000 for the operating system and all the rights to it. Kildall was killed in a bar fight in 1994 after becoming an alcoholic because he watched his life's work being taken from him. Tim Patterson and Microsoft didn't actually do anything.
