Hmmmmm....... I read that and I picture Hammer and Abbott sitting in a basement somewhere together planning their next weeks worth of inane bantering to perpetuate this abomination of a thread. |

Come 1981, the demand for BASIC was tailing off as the technology advanced and reading between the lines their effort to purchase QDOS and have IBM use it in their upcoming PC platform (assisted by both of BillG's parents working as product lawyers for IBM and IBM's senior management not taking the PC project seriously) was a "Hail-Mary" pass to keep the company going while they figured out how to adapt to the changing market. When IBM sued Compaq for reverse-engineering the BIOS and selling a PC compatible machine - and lost - it must have been like every Christmas coming at once for MS. |
