Portion used

Low resolution version of the press kit image

Low resolution?

The image is the default low resolution version from the Microsoft press website, and is sufficiently small.

Purpose of use

To illustrate discussions about this famous image in articles or sections about Microsoft's history and origins; or to show the individuals involved in this part of their lives, if necessary .

Replaceable?

There are rare free images of each of the two subjects pictured around the present time (2010), but not in 1981 and not in important moment shown; some would even claim the most important moment in Microsoft's history. The image is iconic and is used in the Article to discuss the image itself. This image is clearly being used only to discuss this pivotal event, it cannot be replaced.
