But if some other chip had been selected by IBM for the PC, do you really think things would be as they are today?

What if the U.S. wasn't big, with good temperate weather and great natural resources?

What if the earth wasn't the third rock from the sun?

To whom do you give credit for Intel rising to the top...

>>>IBM and the Justice Department.


Noyce, Moore and Grove had nothing to do with it?

IBM insisted that Intel license other sources for 8088 chips. IBM also passed on adopting the 80386. Hardly the cause of Intel's success in microprocessor.
