No, Bill Gates did not attempt to buy IBM. As a publicly held and traded corporation, IBM is not a company that an individual could "buy" and take private. What "Wild" Bill did do was negotiate deals with them to the mutual benefit of both IBM and Microsoft. Both companies earned billions in profits by working together, by collaborating and taking advantage of each other's strengths and expertise.
