Microsoft and "Retrospective Re-writing of History..."
From "What happened to IBM - PCs"
5 months ago a YouTube account (or "channel") called "History of Gadgets" released a new video.
Based on this video (24:12), "Bill Gates fell out with IBM because of the abrasive management style of Jim Cannavino," a reader told us. "Get a load of this retrospective re-writing of history..."
The real story is, Gates the mother was on the Board of IBM (because of privilege, class, connections, pedigree, not demonstrable skills) and that's why her son got a contract with IBM. Windows took off because of corruption and technical sabotage, not technical supremacy or superior marketing muscle. This is a well documented fact.
Then again, in YouTube anyone can make stuff up (as one goes along). Being social control media (in multimedia form), it can spread irrespective of 'factuality'. █
