RE: Then Everything Must Be Free
I didn't know that - I thought IBM had it's own brand of DOS. There were dozens of DOS's running around for awhile.
yeah check it out
How the empire was built on DOS alone is quite amazing.
Actually, its quite simple...DOS was sold to businesses. People went to work and used this crappy OS for 8 hours. Naturally, when the desktop interface came out, they wanted an interface they were used to...thats why everyone keeps saying silly things like, "Mac's aren't compatible with anything!" and "Macs are too hard to figure out, and use." People are drones, and they're drawn to go towards what they're used to. That doesn't make it right though.
