1964 : BASIC computer programing language was developed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz (no, Bill Gates didn’t invent BASIC, sorry).
1974: Gary Kildall developed CP/M , the first standard operating system for microcomputers . CP/M was the operating system Bill Gates bought a rip-off of to create MS-DOS in 1981.
1975: Bill Gates and Paul Allen "borrowed" computer time to produce a rip-off of the BASIC computer language (see 1964) for the MITS Altair. The product was announced and advertisements placed before work began to keep others from entering the market. It was expensive, released late, incomplete and riddled with bugs. When copies were passed around by users trying to come up with bug fixes (and who were reluctant to spend a lot of money for something that didn’t work), Bill Gates accused them all of “Software Piracy”. Thus we find the tone of Microsoft’s ethics, business practices, product quality, and attitude toward users (they’re all thieves) already fully formed in the first weeks of the company’s existence.
1981: Microsoft licensed MS-DOS to IBM. Microsoft purchased QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) from Tim Patterson of Seattle Computers and repackaged it as MS-DOS. IBM had to do a lot of the finish work because Microsoft lacked operating system skills. [The stories say Bill Gates' mother helped this deal because she knew someone at IBM]
1982: Digital Research sued Microsoft and IBM over copyright infringement. Gary Kildall sat down at a fresh IBM PC, typed a few keystrokes and popped up a Digital Research copyright notice. This impressed the Judge. DR won the case, monetary damages, and the right to clone MS-DOS. Microsoft won a gag oder to make sure the public never heard about this case.
1987: Digital Research exercised its right to clone MS-DOS (see 1982) and released DR-DOS. Microsoft launched an all out “dirty tricks” war against what they knew to be a superior product (clearly stated in internal e-mails). MS-DOS 5.0, 6.0 and 6.22 were essentially just imitations of the DR packages, though some features (task switching) never worked in the Microsoft versions, and they got sued for others (Stac). Caldera, current publisher of DR-DOS, is suing Microsoft over everything else, and looks good to win big-time.
1995 August: Microsoft released “32-bit” Windows95 , amid incredible hype.
1995 Nov: Intel released the Pentium Pro chip. Microsoft was livid because Pentium Pro was optimized for 32-bit code. Windows95 runs like a dog on PPro, exposing Microsoft’s “32-bit” claims to be lies. OS/2 and Unix run just fine.
1996: Bill Gates “discovers” the Internet. It can’t be long now before we start hearing that Bill Gates “invented” the Internet (ooops, that was Al Gore, wasn’t it?).
1998 January: Intel released the Pentium II at 333-MHz, delivering on their promise to Microsoft to ship a Pentium Pro that ran 16-bit Windows95 code more efficiently.
1998 June: Microsoft releases Windows 98. While it contained bug fixes for Windows95 the real reason for its release was to bury Internet Explorer in Windows so the Justice Department couldn’t make them take it out.
1999 November: Guilty! Judge Jackson’s Finding Of Fact in Justice Department suit was released declaring Microsoft has a monopoly, and has knowingly abused its monopoly position.
2000 February: Microsoft can’t take the heat – buys off Caldera evil business practices lawsuit. Microsoft demands a gag order as always to keep the truth from getting out.
2000 April: Guilty! Judge Jackson’s Finding of Law is released immediately after DOJ / Microsoft settlement negotiations break down. Microsoft guilty on nearly all counts, “not proven” on a couple, and innocent on none.
2000 November: George W. Bush is elected president of the U.S. under suspicious circumstances. The business world presumes this means Microsoft will be let off on anti-trust charges.

"IKÄVÄ KYLLÄ MICROSOFTILLA EI OLLUT VAADITTAVAA TAITOA KÄYTTÖJÄRJESTELMIIN JOTEN IBM:n OLI TEHTÄVÄ SUURIN OSA LOPPUTYÖSTÄ SAADAKSEEN TIETOKONEEN OVEN ULKOPUOLELLE (MYYTÄVÄKSI)
“Unfortunately, Microsoft didn’t have the skills required for operating systems, so IBM had to do much of the finish work just to get the PC out the door.”
myös win 3.0:ssa. Käyttöliittyä on suoraan OS/2 2:sta mutta konepellin alla ei ole mitään moniajavaa systeemiä kuten OS/2:ssa. Tai no olihan siellä, se täysin toimimaton vapaaehtoisesti luovuttava moniajo. Yksikään prosessi ei koskaan luovuttanut aikaa muille prosesseille.
...kimpassa.
QDOS=Quick and Dirty Operating System
Kyllähän tämä on ollut tiedossa jo pitkään mutta mukava taas vaihteeksi tällainen historiallinen katsaus siitä mikä persetautinen kuppafirma on kyseessä. Ja johtajat ovat juuri omiaan, tämän voi havaita kun katsoo Steve Ballmeria.

Eikö ole sairasta puuhaa ;D ;D Toiset yritti auttaa niin Bill syytti kaikkia piratismista ;D ja siitähän se alkoi tuo koko ihmeen vittumoinen Microsoft-touhuilu joka jatkuu yhä, ehkä pahempana kuin koskaan.
Että kumarrelkaa vaan ja nostelkaa sitä lakkianne tuolle typerälle firmalle, paljastatte samalla oman hölmöytenne.
Nyyh byää!
1981: Bill Gates saw a demonstration of Visi On, a windowing environment by Visi Corp, and it scared him silly. Microsoft immediately began work on "Interface Manager", later renamed "Windows".
1983 April: Microsoft demonstrated "Interface Manager", later renamed "Windows". The demo was largely faked to make the computer appear to run programs simultaneously.
1983 November: Microsoft officially announced Windows. It didn't actually work yet, and wouldn't for a couple of years.
1985 November: Microsoft actually shipped Windows 1.0 (two years after announcing it in typical Microsoft fashion). It still didn't work well enough to be useful for anything.
1987 November: Microsoft releases Windows/386 which lets users run more than one DOS program at the same time. Still not good for much.
1990 May: Windows 3.0, an almost but not quite usable version of Microsoft Windows was released.
1991 Oct: Microsoft adds CD-ROM support and multimedia extensions to Windows 3.0.
1992 April: Microsoft rleased Windows 3.1, with enough bugs fixed to be actually usable, firming up the tradition that no Microsoft product works before version 3.1".
1992 November: The Geos desktop with GeoWorks suite was released. The press heralded it as "What Windows 3.1 should have been". Users and reviewers liked it, but no software developers dared write software for it for fear of certain revenge from Microsoft. Geos disappeared from the market.
Ja mitä teki aikoinaan open source??
1984: The GNU Project began with the objective of producing a free, Open Source version of Unix, including all its tools and subsidiary programs.
1991 Oct: Linus Torvalds releases the first publicly available version of the Linux operating system, beating GNU's Hurd to market (see 1984).
1991-2010 : Linux has quite a bit of market share in the enterprise market and servers but on the desktop-PC market however, Linux is still used only by minority of users. It is estimed that only 2-5% of home computers are running one or more forms of Linux-distributions. This, however, has not stopped that small amount of people from trolling around Suomi24 by making desperate claims that Linux should be used instead of Windows.
mitä trollaukseen tulee niin siinä SÄ olet kunnostautunut. Tollasta tekstiä muuten ei löydy mistään joten olet sen ihan ite sepittänyt, sehän ei ole toki mitään uutta että wintoys-trolli KEKSII omiaan ja väittää niitä totuudeksi.
2010: Linux-users are cry-babies who accuse Microsoft to be responsible for the poor success of Linux in the desktop-PC -market. Most Linux-distributions require lots of kernel compiling and other often very difficult tasks to make them even barely usable. This is why they are often rejected by majority of PC-users who just want to get the job done, it is worth noting that Linux is only third on the list of popular OS environments, Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X being ahead of it. Both of those are commercial while Linux is free. This clearly reveals how bad Linux is, it is not succesful even when it is free.
..............:n kirjoittaman väitteen todeksi. Säälittävää, todella säälittävää.
Mikkishuora alkoikin oikein viisastelemaan ;D
Voisit TurboT edes yrittää kirjoittaa oikein jos aiot englanniksi sepittää :)
Älä nyt exergy huorittele ;) Sama mulle mitä ihmiset koneissaan käyttää ja kyllä minullakin on ollut Linux-käyttöjärjestelmiä, ei siinä mitään. Hauskaa vain miten jotkut ottavat niin tosissaan tai edes viitsivät kirjoittaa niin todentuiseen sävyyn reaktionsa pienoiseen trollaukseen :D
Jatkakaa vain.
Joo sinne varmasti pääsi kielioppivirheitä, myönnän. En käyttänyt OpenOfficen oikolukua ;)
At the moment, Uindows users have proved to be out of their minds. ;)
Absolutely true!
"Hauskaa vain miten jotkut ottavat niin tosissaan tai edes viitsivät kirjoittaa niin todentuiseen sävyyn reaktionsa"
Kertoo vain että kirjoitukseni onnistui ;)
"2000 November: George W. Bush is elected president of the U.S. under suspicious circumstances. The business world presumes this means Microsoft will be let off on anti-trust charges."
2008 November: Barack Husein Obama is elected president of the U.S with clear victory. Linux community presumes this means Microsoft will be now on in big trouble.
Toivottavasti Obama ottaa Mikkiksen bisnestyylin näppeihinsä nyt kun tuo mätä liero George "gorillapää" Bush on sakinhivutettu hiivattiin.
...niille on ylipäätänsä mitään elintilaan tässä maailmassa. Näin kärpäset elävät paskassa.
