🚨WHAT WAS THE DEAL NEVER FINISHED?
We are in November 1980 and IBM is twice as large as all other computer companies in the world combined.
It makes an agreement with a newcomer, Microsoft, a company of 40 people, to create an operating system (OS), that is, the software that a computer runs on. This operating system will later be called IBM PC-DOS.
But the young CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates, sees something that IBM does not see. He pushes for the agreement to allow Microsoft to license the operating system to other manufacturers, and IBM agrees.
Microsoft finds a really original name for this operating system - they call it MS-DOS.
