Yet earlier, MS made the only decent and affordable professional grade macro
assembler and linker that ran on my Xerox 820, later upgraded to a KayPro, and
weren't such ... about licensing. But that was pretty far back in the day, and
for CPM (which had some amazing similarities to the DOS they later claimed to
own - same jump table into system services for example).
MS wasn't always bad, though they did get a lot of their initial code through
dumpster diving - theft. Which is probably why they're so sensitive to the
issue now. Takes a thief to accuse everyone else of being a thief at that
level.
And no, I'm no apologist for MS. I made a ton of money fixing problems in their
code as a private contractor, but as soon as I retired, well, MS stuff no longer
lives on my network.

I know that code actually shipped, but was it ever active in anything but the
3.1 beta?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
