I think it was actually a "pc in every home"  pretty much job done then in the western world.  think how much Microsoft are going to make on pc related stuff over the next 10 years.... russia, india and china! huge!

 

 

So much nonsense. MS is doomed with its console then.

Because despite people and Bill Gates wanting to rewrite history, some people just won't lose their minds because of lies.

MS is not the one that put a PC in every house, IBM is. That's the IBM PC that entered every house, MS provided the OS.

The IBM PC, having the name IBM on it, being cheap enough (Personal Computer is what PC means), outsold the MAC despite having an inferior OS, just because of IBM name at the time.

MS surely is not the one that put it in every house. Sometimes I have the feeling people believe PC are made by MS.

Eh, on PC outselling Mac at the time, price had a lot to do with it. If Apple had allowed cheap clones, the story might have been different.
