Before the development of the IBM PC and the dominance of MS-DOS,
almost all personal computers ran on CP/M, Kildall's operating system.
In 1980 Kildall rejected an offer from IBM to license his operating
system to run the new IBM PC. Instead, IBM bought a simple operating
system from Bill Gates for $50,000, ensuring Microsoft's future prosperity.
Why did I choose Gary Kildall?
Im not really sure but after i researched his background I noticed
that he was very determined and didnt give in the the richies. He held his
own and believed in himself. Its also truely sad that he was killed in a bar.
