After hugging IBM's lap and becoming the official operating system supplier of IBM-PC, Microsoft's development path is not smooth.

First of all, the deal is a one-time buyout, IBM will not pay Gates for copies of its own PC shipments, and Microsoft's real revenue comes from the pre-installed Basic of each IBM-PC and the unexpected MS-DOS licensing fees that come with the rise of IBM-PC compatible machines.

Secondly, IBM has always hoped that Microsoft, a small thing, will honestly develop its own operating system, and not half-heartedly carry out any so-called development and growth by putting resources on other software; Gates certainly wouldn't want his ambitions to be suppressed in this way – the conflict between the two companies never stopped.

In addition, competition from peers often makes Microsoft tired and embarrassed.

The first mortal enemy is the digital research company, Gary Kildare, a Seattle compatriot who was close to Gates earlier, believes that IBM's cooperation should belong to his CP/M, and then launches a revenge operation.

The root of MS-DOS comes from CP/M, and naturally it is difficult to technically match the CP/M-86, which wants to be reactionary. If it weren't for Gary Kildare's poor market operation and stubbornly clinging to high prices, it would have been unknown who would have died in the battle for the operating system on the IBM-PC platform.

If Digital Research and Gary Kildare are industry veterans, and Microsoft and Gates are rightly enemies, then Lotus Software, which was founded in 1982, has sprung up and swept everything.

Microsoft's spreadsheet software Multiplan has been beaten by Lotus 1-2-3, and its office software product line is completely inherited from Excel on Apple's Mac platform.

I have to say that Gates is a hegemon with luck, even if he is at a disadvantage, as long as he resists and does not make low-level mistakes, the opponents will basically be carried away by the temporary victory, and then they will not be able to find their front teeth.

After the success of Lotus 1-2-3, it took advantage of the situation to expand its product line and enter the field of more stable and lucrative enterprise workflow application software, so as to break the hardware platform barrier and collide with Zheru, who had already been entrenched there.

lotus1-2-3 advertises its three main functions through its own name, namely spreadsheets, chart generation, and database management, but in fact the latter two are ornaments and are only used for spreadsheets. Even so, lotus1-2-3 was a smash hit with just the function of a spreadsheet.

However, when facing Zheru, Mitchell Capol realized that the foundation of lotus 1-2-3 was insufficient, so he decided to follow the model of Zheru to integrate a variety of office software including spreadsheets, word processing, databases, etc., and developed his own lotus application suite.

Ideas are not always precious, and without strong execution, they are still in the air.

The office application suite is not so easy to implement, first of all, it needs a unified architecture to realize the communication of various programs, and then involves software component interface technologies such as PonentObjectModel-Component Object Model, MonObjectRequestBrokerArchitecture-General Object Request Broker Architecture, that is, Corba, etc.

As a result, Lotus Software fell into the quagmire of stagnation in product research and development, and new products were delayed in launching, and then lost the momentum of rapid development, which made the software companies with products on the IBM PC platform breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although Mitchell Kapole is the founder of Lotus Software, he does not have the status of Tang Huanzhi to Zheru and Gates to Microsoft, he has to look at the color of venture capital, and naturally has to be responsible for poor management, so similar to Jobs, he withdrew from the company he founded, but fortunately, when he left Lotus Software, he was much more decent than Jobs.

Without Mitchell Kapole, the founder, Lotus Software may have lost a little bit of inspiration in technology, but the level of capital operation has increased, and through the acquisition of several companies, it has quickly enriched its thin product line.

Gates knows this, so he still doesn't dare to take Lotus Software lightly.

But just as he could barely breathe a sigh of relief, Borland began to emerge as a threat to Microsoft's position at IBM-PC.

In this time and space, although Borland did not have the genius Anders Halesberg from the beginning, and even the original capital accumulation was not provided by Turbopascal dumping at a low price, and even the right to name the product "Turbo" was invisibly deprived, its founder, Philippe Kahn, was passionate, talented, and energetic.

Under Philip Kahn's leadership, Borland launched a copy editing software called Sidekick, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and became a bestseller, helping the company gain fame and fortune and gain a foothold in a highly competitive market.

Compared to similar products, the main feature of Sidekick is the integration of useful widgets such as schedules, calculators, autodialers, ASCII meters, and more.

For example, when a programmer writes assembly language code through a sidekick, he can easily call up an ASCII table query with a hotkey, or a calculator can convert between binary, decimal and hexadecimal.

It stands to reason that there is no shortage of genius in the IT industry, and almost every month there are exciting ideas, technologies, companies, and products, and Sidekick is nothing more than a best-selling software, nothing great, but the vigilant Gates still discovered the threat of Borland.

It turns out that sidekick can be easily called out by a hotkey, and under the surface of various integrated utilities, there is a technology called terminateandstayresidentprogram - a memory-resident program or TSR.
