Return to Pirates Of Silicon Valley, The Movie
 
Anyone watch it and wish to make some comments?

It was always my opinion, based on fact, that the DOS that Microsoft used with the IBM contract, was actually stolen from a couple of programmers living on Vashon Island, Washington. They were later paid 85 K in litigation. These events were not portrayed in this way in the movie, perhaps due to possible litigation from Bellingham.

The original OS was called QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) later changed to DOS by MSFT. Sound right?
