Sadly marketing and commercial success play an enormous part in the perception of people. For example many people think Microsoft wrote (the technically horrible) MSDOS, while in fact the a sole programmer copied source codes of CP/M and Microsoft only bought this from the programmer when the OS was still called Quick and Dirty OS (QDOS) for 25,000 dollars. (lack of insight by IBM managers then made Microsoft into what it is today)
