Microsoft

Since Microsoft are currently telling the world what a nice monster they are and how evil and arbitary the EU Competition supremos are, I think it's time to look back to when there actually was some freedom and choice in the software world - just before the appearance of Win 3.1, when you could choose between DR-DOS or MS-DOS, and how Microsoft killed that competition.


EDIT: The link mysteriously died. There don't seem to be too many copies of this doc floating on the web for some reason. Minds more paranoid than I may speculate


The rest, as they say, is history. There is just one thing I'd like to know: Who WAS AARD?
