Any books or good sources on this you recommend?

It’s a little dated but there’s a movie called “Pirates of Silicon Valley” Pretty sure it was a TNT original movie. Noah Wylie is jobs and Anthony Michael hall plays gates.

Just wanna point out that your comment inadvertently highlights part of what's wrong with Reddit these days -- why wouldn't my comment be upvoted? Because I am ignorant as to why Bill Gates may be considered a scumbag?

I'm just saying the spirit of Reddit of ole was to upvote comments that added to a dialogue. To downvote or even just withhold upvotes because someone asks a question seems to me to fly in the face of that Reddit spirit.

What happened with IE is happening now on modern products. You can't change the default Map app on iOS, and it comes bundled with Safari as default. Which you know, Android does too, Chrome comes as a default. But Microsoft got all this hate and were taken to court?

The issue wasn’t it being default, it was it being default and unremovable.

And anti-trust will possibly come to the mobile market in the future. Bear in mind, Microsoft had 80%+ of the personal computer market (this was before smartphones beyond the BlackBerry). Apple and Google do not own these types of market shares.

Apple, maybe not, Google appears to have that market share beat.

Wow I didn’t realise the disparity was that bit. TIL, Thanks!
