Gates understood that the software was where the lock was. How did he know this? Not sure. Maybe. But I think he just knew that IBM was willing to pay him for an operating system. He found one (that IBM guys messed up buying). Bought it and resold it to IBM. Then the money started rolling in and certain things dawned on him. I think he would not hesitate to screw pretty much anyone who got in his way, as long as it was legal. It seems pretty clear that he won the battle with Apple due to peculiarities of the computer business rather than quality.
