What computers ?
Pre-M$ was Apple, and they were wonderful !
Very interesting is this the same thinking that M$ == Winhozed???
or am I forgetting my history lessons didnt apple come AFTER M$
Apple Macintosh: 1984
Windows 1.0 : 1985
Windows 3.0 was in 1990 when it actually became something people ran.
Of course, depends on what you mean by "Microsoft", and whether you count
DOS in that. The IBM P/C running DOS was 1981. Eventually, it even had
exciting things like subdirectories and harddisk support.
