It is generally believed that the Apple Lisa is what

the Lisa that inspired Bill Gates, but that it was VisiCorp's VisiOn
software (remember that, yeah, me neither!). So my question is: Which one
was it? Was it Lisa or VisiOn?
VisiOn just lit a fire under his ass and made him worry that someone else
was going to capture the PC window OS market. However, from what I've
read, VisiOn did themselves in with a buggy product (I guess that only
works out if you're Microsoft, eh?)
