| | COMPUTER HISTORY - MICROSOFT VERSUS APPLE |
| | DOS was the backbone of Bill Gates fortune and dominance of the computer market. | | | Microsoft put Windows on top of DOS in 1985 because they wanted to get Windows out quick to keep up with the competition and to be compatible with all that software out there. | | | Part of this return in Apple sales was an alliance with Microsoft, which included the Microsoft giant (they were the giant now) to invest $150 million in Apple and continue developing Mac OS updates of the Microsoft software. |
