ahh, the xerox corporation has had an IT system with GUIs on the workstations and mouses since the late 1960's
 
lol

kidding aside, the xerox corp could have crushed IBM and apple. just how IBM could have crushed windows with OS/2...in both cases the situation was poorly managed to say the least.
 
very true..gates and co very very lucky..IBM let them walk out the door with windows..they must have been gutted..

theres was a movie made about all that..can anyone remember the name of it?

Pirates of Silicon Valley. :)
 
when i saw said movie it increased my dislike of steve jobs. at the very beginning microsoft had NOTHING on apple...but gates bought DOS from some guy and paid $50,000. compared to what the writer would have made it he got a cut of the earnings, $50k was small potatoes (to say the least).
