Those of us who were there are not deceived by revisionist
histories. In those days, it was big bad IBM versus tiny helpless
Microsoft, not the other way around. Microsoft didn't (and
couldn't) twist IBM's arm.

It wasn't all that Herculean. Apparently IBM didn't try very hard.
Microsoft did a good job of gaining a stranglehold on the personal
computer software market and never letting go, and that's where we
are today.
