DVD Reviews of Biography - Bill Gates: Sultan of Software (A&E DVD Archives)
DVD Review: Lots of spin but worth the price
Summary: 4 Stars
As with most of the "Biography" series they put a heavy spin on their reporting. Luckily it favors the subject. This starts off with his grandparents and works its way down to almost this minute. The pictures and other visuals form living locations and friends help you understand what goes into making the Microsoft Empire.
Unfortunately it makes you thing that Microsoft and IBM who were both latecomers to the micro computer field, are the only players in the microcomputer business. In reality IBM was a latecomer and had their machines manufacturing farmed out because they had no expertise. They approached Digital Research for the operating system, as CP/M from Digital Research was the universal operating system for ALL small computers.
You may want to look up books on CP/M before viewing this tape. One book is "CP/m and the Personal Computer." Anyway They Digital Research did not trust IBM. So IBM or Bill purchased a CP/M work alike knockoff from a person down the street. Ever sense the original purchase they have incorporated UNIX work alike code to change this MSDOS system to a single user UNIX work alike. Now the system is convoluted with the addition of "Active Directory."
