What a magical picture :) You can see the early floppy disks on the desk, and those ancient computers. I think in those photos Bill is trying to look good. I have no idea how well Microsoft is doing at that point. Amazing to look at the youngish man and think he'll become the richest man alive :)

In 1983 Microsoft licensed ms-dos to 100 vendors ....by 1985 he was worth 390 million and by 87 he was a billionaire. Most of his money up to 85 was made on ms-dos, excel, and word. Windows wasn't even released until november of 85.
