Can you accept Explorer instead of just "Internet Explorer?"

No, because Explorer is also windows' file manager.

I think it’s pretty obvious that if someone types in “explorer” for that question, they mean Internet Explorer.

Words mean things. If you're that averse to typing in 16 characters plus a space just type in "ie".

How come the second founder is so much less well-known?

Good question. I know him pretty well because he owns the TrailBlazers basketball team and the Seahawks football team. I guess Gates has always kind of been the face of the business.

Yeah, Gates was always more of the public face, particularly when they were going through the anti-trust lawsuits. Allen was always more in the background. Nice gig if you can get it. :-)

He got pushed aside by Gates relatively early on.

He is certainly remembered here in Seattle. I actually thought of him before Bill Gates.

No Patrick Bateman has an alibi, he was returning some videotapes when the crime was committed

Exchange should be the right answer for the email program with Outlook as an acceptable answer. Question as stated implies that it is used to manage everyone's emails not what employees use to manage just their emails.

I think that Lotus was a pretty big software company in the 1980s.

I was very confused it wouldn't accept Edge as the search engine. Completely forgot about Bing...

Corel, makers of WordPerfect, were also big in the late 80s.

You aren't accepting the clipper owner answer as *alm* just *allm*? Most last names with that middle sound like the lead singer of power station are spelled without the second l. I Wonder if that is one of the reasons it's the least guessed answer?
