True story. IBM gathered a special group to create a PC to compite with Apple's Apple II. IBM visited Microsoft to buy an OS from them, Bill Gates told them they only hava a language (Basic) so IBM visited Digital Research and its founder, Gary Kildall, didn't agree with IBM's conditions. So IBM returned to Microsoft and this time Bill Gates said yes. The rest as they say... is log files.
This movie is super underrated. I remember seeing it when I was 13 years old when it came out in 1999 and thinking that it was crazy how advanced computers were then... Here I am in 2021 and am literally working for Apple and facing the reality that this movie is 22 years old.
I had read that it was Gates Sr who advised Bill against selling the software as licensing made more money. It's like a brand making money by allowing others to open a franchise in their name. Gates Sr was a Lawyer and saw the potential of licensing.

There was no reason to make a Steve jobs movie. This WAS the Steve jobs movie. I wish Hollywood would respect that fact and rerelease it
It's amazing they found an actor to play Ballmer who was more annoying than Ballmer himself.

The profit is in the computer, not in the software
Just read that Paul Allen died today. RIP Paul, whatever people think of Microsoft, you and Bill were world changers.
This scene is so weird, and that's what made this movie so great. It was creative in how it explained things to the audience.

Steve Ballmer breaking 4th wall? Sounds legit
Always blows my mind that Steve Balmer voiced Bender
here here??
"Bite my shiny metal ass!" -- Steve Balmer
The Ballmer guy just nailed it.
"Sort of? You heard me! Don't tell me sort of, we just told IBM!"

Bender was just as good back in the day as he is today.
The greatest pitch in the history of business. Brief, Educating, Funny and Effective.
It's so surreal seeing John Dimaggio in this. He does a good job but still.
I remember vividly watching this on TNT… 1999…I was in eighth grade on my gateway computer.
This should be taught in all the history books
I love the effect where everything in the scene pauses except one person who then talks outside the 4th wall
