The show basically described:
-How Bill Gates rose up in the world of software
-Their marketing tactics (E.g., How shipping IE with their OS helped to kill of Netscape, etc)
-How Microsoft got clobbered from the US for it
-How Bill's PC never crashes :-D :crazy:
-How they're trying to get into the internet business
-And how Microsoft could be undermined by the "cloud" (E.g. Working in cyberspace).
All the way through it’s an interview with Bill himself.
Personally I recon Microsoft has tipped a balance with consumers. I mean, look at schools today. They're all teaching students how to use M$ Office and, to a far lesser degree, M$ Windows (Well, most people call them "Computers" so those people tend to be oblivious to the fact that you could run Linux, etc. No-one ever mentions alternatives ). That’s one hell of a marketing campaign, if I ever saw one (Heh, I can think of other names for forced biased marketing, too)
This means that people will be inclined to buy and use Windows in later life because of it. And because so many people are using Windows, for compatibility and problem-solving, everyone else uses Windows. And everyone writes software for Windows. And because there's so much software for Windows, more people use it. :madashell:
