WTF?

From: Kai Kaltenbach <kaikal(a)MICROSOFT.com> Subject: RE: WTF? Originally to: "'classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu'" <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> IIRC, wasn't "Traf-o-Data" a piece of software Billy wrote while still in High School? I was under the impression that "Microsoft" didn't exist until Albuquerque. I especially liked the part where the MS trio fly to Miami and tell the IBM bigwigs that they know about their secret project and they have the OS for them. I really like a docu-drama that plays fast and loose with facts, events, and timeline. They seemed to forget that Big Blue came to them first to get MS- BASIC and CP/M, only to discover that Gary Kildall owned CP/M. The movie might be more entertaining to someone who is clueless about the real story, but that still doesn't excuse them running roughshod over the actual facts. My wife, BTW, really hated watching it with me because I kept yelling things at the TV. Kinda like Rocky Horror for nerds.............
