yes i installed it, OS/2. I loved the idea of multi OS.

Unless you worked there during that era you can’t fathom the level of dysfunction….arrogance.

I dunno, i could discount the Balmer internal commercial as just for the lulz, but not after seeing him in his other appearances. I wonder how people like that ever find themselves in positions of influence...

Gates idea to adjust and charge and set boundary?

I feel that the next vision of Linux n window n iOS. The first out like allows were the artist is, but the money is found after the dust settles.

I am only a Microsoft user because of the discounted college or education version of the office at UofA.

I think it's incredible that Portal exists as a euphemism for Gabe's time and pressure in working on Windows.

Closing out with an editorial from OS/2 professional was a really nice, poetic touch. I come away from this thinking about the whole story as a tragedy - where many people with good intentions, skills and hard work fail to achieve what rightfully they should have in light of external circumstances, many of which were themselves not maliciously created, but rather the product of not understanding the situation.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VIDEO AT ALL AND DO NOT THINK THE RUSSIANS EVER GOT IBM TYPE COMPUTERS RUNNING. In the 1980's, 1970's I was a programmer, consultant, college teacher, programmer trainer. I had many FAKE SOVIET PROGRAMMERS, AND FAKE IVEY LEAGUE(HARVARD, YALE, CORNELL, COLUMBIA, BARD, NYU) PROGRAMMERS THESE FAKE PROGRAMMERS CLAIMED TO KNOW IBM COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS. THEY KNEW NOTHING AT ALL. IN MY CLASSES IN COLLEGES, TRADE SCHOOLS, JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS I ALWAYS HAD TO START AT "0" AND ASSUME THESE "SOVIETS" AND AMERICAN IVEY LEAGUE STUDENTS KNEW NOTHIG AT ALL!!!!

I misread the title... thought it said the rise of Microdots and Windows ... sorry, just came from watching a video on LSD. Ha! :P

I've been running Debian successfully as my daily driver since 1997.

It is still used today on some printing presses that I work on. Warp 4.

I can't wait for the next episode. Great work, thank you Sir!

There was in fact a standard for personal computers, and it was very good, and popular, maybe not so in the USA and that doesn't make it less important: MSX!!! It came with Microsoft MSX Basic, and it was very good. Even a few game franchises were first developed here, such as Metal Gear. How come you dismissed this?

Very educational, already waiting for part 3. I started using computers with the 486DX2/66 cpu with msdos 6.22 and win 3.11. Wow the hardware changed so much.

The rise of Wind💩ows 🤫🫣

I didn't knowanyone could talk so long without taking a breath. I had a hard time keeping up. That said thanks for the video, very interesting!

I really love this video! I am wondering if anyone in the comments section would happen to know of any one who still works at IBM. I have an idea that I would like to pitch to IBM, but when I tried submitting my idea to IBM, it got rejected because I had no market research about my idea. I am only one person, so I can't produce any market research. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE CODE FOR WINDOWS. WHAT YOU'VE GOT IS 8086 AND DOS-86 86-DOS is a "quick and dirty" operating system clone of CP/M created by Seattle Computer Products for their 8086 S-100 systems. It was later bought by Microsoft and used as the basis for IBM PC-DOS and MS-DOS. Windows 1.0 and DOS 1.0, Require a 8088 CPU, Which You Dont Have. 8088 has Hardware Accelerations, for DOS 1.0 and Windows 1.0 Windows 2.0, requires a 80286 Processor. If You Had that, You'd KNOW: You Cant SEPARATE Microsoft from Intel.

yooo dude, part 2, pleeasee

OS/2 and Netware.. The most reliable operating systems when under heavy use in the 90's. Also had a friend who ran a DOS BBS that could have 3 users simultaneously, by running it in 3 DOS instances under OS/2 Warp. It ran well on a 486dx25 with 8mb Ram. Sometimes he would play a game like X-Wing in a 4th DOS instance with no hiccups. I remember being really impressed with it.

It's hard to see anything on the screen of device

This isn’t a boring topic it’s intriguing but I already watched some video about this I think

liked and subscribed

I hope part 3 will not take as long as part 2 did...

please keep making more rise of windows videos. at least make till windows 95

i like your videos... make more videos

You know this actually gives me sympathy for windows a little.

awesome presentation sir.

Taligent sounds like Linux, like a series of tools, but I'm thinking maybe they mean kernel

This is why companies need visionary leadership.

I'm more excited about the next part of this than I am for Deadpool 3!

Excellent video!

I'd still take Intel over Apple's current lineup, but of course AMD is even better right now on the high end.

I still remember when my friend who worked at our college's computer lab brought OS/2 and put it on his computer. The school had bought a license, but the computer teachers didn't want to use it, so he played around with it and loved it until Windows NT.

Its a fascinating history but the video needs better chapter markers.

The fall of big corporations due to bureaucracy! It reminds me of a joke that my dad says was doing the rounds in the early 1960s. The Chair of British Rail was arguing with the chair of ICI (then one of the biggest companies in the world) whose organisation was biggest. In the end they agreed that British Rail was bigger, but ICI carried more passengers!!!

Barring 1 or 2 things? Really? The original MAC was a financial Failure for Apple. App Store, Steve Jobs initially opposed the App Store. iPod Hi-Fi, ($349) audiophiles couldn't help but rip the product to shreds. MobileMe, cloud-based service, thank your lucky stars that you never had to withstand the horror that was MobileMe. An eyewitness recounted Jobs’ reprimand to its team, for giving him what he wanted, to Fortune, "You've tarnished Apple's reputation…You should hate each other for having let each other down." Hockey Puck Mouse, not ergonomically friendly, frustrating to control, clunky, and inefficient. Almost comically, Jobs at one point touted the peripheral as "the best mouse you'll ever use." PowerMAC G4 Cube, a daunting $1,599 price tag with a monitor had to be purchased separately kept most G4 Cubes on the shelf. Off-putting. Miniscule cracks in its surface notwithstanding, its price tag turned it into a has-been within a year. LISA Computer, $10,000 in 1983 (over $22,000 today). Small change compared with what it cost Apple: $50 million in hardware and $100 million in development, selling just 10,000 units. AppleIII, It ran was so unstable that it was pulled. NeXT, After being fired from Apple, Jobs had little success with this machine that academics liked, but no one could afford. NeXT was ultimately eaten up by Apple right before its Bankruptcy as a prelude to Jobs’ return. Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, $7,500, Not many of the 12,000 produced units sold, with the last of the batch going for just below $2,000 each. ROKR, A cross between a Cellphone and an iPod, with a capacity of just 100 songs and a super slow transfer time, the ROKR’s party ended quickly. IIRC they had a Digital Still Frame Camera that also Failed. ...And this is off the top of my head of failures.

That's a very cool insight oh how it came to be. I'm currently at work trying to push for use of my personal technology as opposed to supplier's, CEO is on my side, head architect is on my side, but my boss is blocking it on every turn because I recon he realises it would harm his prospects for not having chosen it in the first place. I'm playing it soft, have stated on several occasions that i don't want to make any enemies, but Bill Gates didn't care about making enemies, he saw a goal and went for it. I see now.

Instead of a 2 or 3 hour video, why not post 30 minute videos more often, then make a supercut into one video when the series is done?

We used some Windows 2.0 machines as vt100 terminals with multiple windows in the early 90's

Very insightful and thought provoking to a computer user with no actual background at just how everything came into being. As a matter of fact, in the late 50's, a neighbor, Mr. Kipp, whose family, lived near five houses from us, in Buffalo, NY and had to live during the week in Rochester, NY (worked for Sperry-Rand, I believe) to learn how to run a new computer 'system' back then. After his training was completed, the family had to move as the system he was trained for, had become obsolete, in the time he was training for it. He had to move to find new employment. His kids, Jim & Brenda, never heard from again... Late 50's/early 60's, quite surreal for a little kid! Thanks ABT!

I was lucky enough to have access to VisiCalc running on a TRS-80 in the early eighties when I was around 13/14 years old. It started my career in IT and I have such fond memories of those times. Over the years I also used Lotus 123, As-Easy-As; an incredible shareware Lotus 123 clone by Trius Inc (what a clever name!), Supercalc, Quattro Pro. And now, of course, Excel. How things have changed. Currently in my mid 50s and excited to see what happens over the next 30-40 years.

Another boring topic in reel format! Yes! First of many many more :)
