WHERE ARE THEY NOW? What happened to the people In Microsoft's iconic 1978 company photo
A ragtag group of bearded weirdos assembled for a family portrait in Albuquerque.
If you see it on Facebook or LinkedIn, there's usually a question above the photo: "Would you have invested?"
It's a trick question. You're supposed to answer no - because well, look at those people - but then you learn it's a company portrait of Microsoft from 1978.
Early employee Bob Greenberg, pictured in the middle, won the free portrait after calling in a radio show and guessing the name of an assassinated president. The gang reluctantly gathered together in some of their finest attire, and an American business legend was made.
We all know what happened with the two guys in the bottom left and bottom right corners -- Bill Gates, and Paul Allen. But what about the rest, many of whom became millionaires?
With Microsoft's stock hitting an all-time high after earnings on Thursday - higher than its previous peak in 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom - we thought it would be a good time to take another look back.
