Garry Kildall story: • The Man Who COULD Have...
Correction, it was a mistake to refer to the PDP-8 and those other computers in the 1960s as "microcomputers", these were mini-computers.
Microcomputers were only possible after Intel's introduction of the CPU in 1973. Sorry about that.

Correction at 11:34, Microsoft no longer owns Nokia. That was a mistake, sorry about that.
edge now runs with the chrome engine
And the 2014 for foundation needs some correction
was gonna comment that Nokia is owned by HMD Global made by ashes of Old Nokia just like Phoneix ... but your comment was earlier
They did tho, so no biggie :)
It only owned the rights to use the name, not the company itself
11:42 "Since Gates stepped away from full time job stock doubled "
Better wording would be, Since Steve Ballmer was no longer CEO the stock doubled
The Truth lol
Indians: better wording would be, INDIAN POWER
@@Alex632 The truth will be out after he steps down as CEO as to how critical he was for Microsoft.
This
Surprised there's no "whooooo" in the comments
Please do an episode on how big is ColdFusion

@@spbld but I wanna know the backstory, about the early years, networth, direct competetors and so on. The whole deal
@@mrolluful His first video was a TH-cam Poop. I think that explains most of it.
stupid.
We get it, you're good at saying crap but please could you guys go cry somewhere else about how you're not needed in on this platform. Shoo, go awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay quietly please your hate is starting to annoy. Zirhama ndini.
You did not mention that before Satya Nadella, Steve Ballmer wrecked the growth of Microsoft as CEO.
Not to mention how sweaty he was. That man probably caused millions of dollars in flood damage.
Developers! Developers!! Developers!!! :D :D ~ Ballmer the clueless evangelist
Nope but most credit taken by satya nadella now we’re alll started by Steve ballmer
Steve had a vision and he was making azure dev that time itself. but sathya was the one made it as we see now.
You got that right. I know there's way more, but when I think of Steve the first thing I think is Windows 8. It seems like the guy didn't give a damn about what the users, you know, the CUSTOMERS wanted, he had his own agenda and people just better get used to it. And that "developers developers developers" thing, while dropping VB 6 like a hot potato and pulling the rug out from under developers with their shifting standards. At least they're finally getting it right now and coming out with great developer tools again.
Bill Gates showing up at Apple was like Vince McMahon showing up at WCW during the Monday night wars.
Good one!
Such an underrated comment
I remember that event. I think it was a good example of how skilled the two CEOs were, putting behind a legendary rivalry to better their businesses. Apple needed the cash and to move beyond that feud and MS wanted to dominate the school and business market and make sure they had a competitor around so regulators didn’t go after monopoly accusations again. No matter what you think of Steve Jobs, when it came to his return at Apple it was amazing. They went from weeks away from Bankruptcy to a completely vertical trajectory that would eventually climb all the way to battling for the biggest public company in the world.
Yup!;
I BOUGHT WCAPPLE!
He programmed a harem "coincidentally", what a madlad 😂
~Bill Gates - sama~
That fact is so fkn sweet..
Legendary on par with when Harrison Ford the carpender...not only became Han Solo.. but also (I learned it recently from the princess her self whilst bingewatching the original Star Wars cast on talkshows over a few evenings for it is awesome, it was the most jaw dropping reveal of gossip thingy I have ever seen) ****** ******** ***. I can not utter. That is how legendary it is!
Don't panic.

"Who was at this executive staff meeting?"
"Probably members of the executive staff"
SAVAGE 100 HONESTY 100
"I later programmed it in 17 bytes."
What a flex.
i kinda depresed lately, but your "how big" series always a bring back joy,
i love the optimistic and the excitement in the video
"Who was at this executive staff meeting, Probably members of the executive staff"
Thomas Beckham legendary
The right answer
Lmao
honestly ikr
Savage answer 😂
My first programme: "Hello World"
Bill Gate's first programme: Microsoft
This is cold-blooded in the next level
My first program was writing a music sequence on q basic :P
Microsoft never owned Nokia, it just bought the smartphone division of Nokia and had the rights to use the Nokia brand in their phones. Nokia has always been its own business as it is now. It’s quite a personal matter for me since I’m from Finland :D
Me to
Paul O'Reilly he says in it that Microsoft no longer owns Nokia. There’s a significant difference.
Paul O'Reilly yeah you’re right. Would be nice to always disclose the sources and references he’s using.
RIP Nokia
Thank you!!!
I felt video was more about Bill Gates and not about Microsoft :)
Historically speaking, Microsoft is all about Bill Gates. If it were a video about Microsoft today he probably wouldn't even get a mention.
@@ClayMann Yes, I agree. Microsoft is very different today than it used to be.
Because Bill Gates is Microsoft 🎤
That how short Microsoft's history are. Otherwise window window and window. Still hope he did more in term of department and R&D.
And he still forgot to mention at 1:22 how his mother was a chairman for Board of Directors of Bank of America, - and how his uncle was high-ranking executive in IBM
Why does everyone forgets to mention that?
My god he was playing Risk and Monopoly as a kid, that explains EVERYTHING!
lol, he probably had other hideous games too ...
Lol I had the same thought:)
Kramer and Neuman played those too
I was peripherally involved in the Altair 8800 project and knew Bill Gates and Paul Allen pretty well at the time. I've always pulled for Bill and Microsoft, he was a brilliant nerd then and a generous nerd now.
Did u really know them?
Yes.
fascinating!
I so envy people like you who involved in the progress of history. How exciting would that be!
John Cline that’s amazing
ALWAYS GREAT TO HERE HOW YOU GUYS EXPAND AND SIMPLIFY EACH DIVERSE TOPIC.
Satya Nadela saved Microsoft... Remember the Steve Balmer days. Leadership matters a lot since it can determine direction, tone and emphasis.
Same for Steve coming back to save Apple
It's not true, Steve Balmer is not popular as Bill or Satya, but he did open the Enterprise Market for the Microsoft, which brings a lot of profit for the company. Products like XBOX and Windows Server are cultivated by Steve. Most importantly, in the era of Steve, Microsoft mastered the technology for the data management, which is the foundation of the current Cloud-strategy of Microsoft.
@@linfengmu9421 I agree here, Steve was indeed a very different CEO and some of his acquisitions were a tad rough shall we say.. But Azure,Xbox, Sharepoint and even BING (Bing Is Not Google) where all his.. again I do understand though why he wasn't named here... lol
14:14 the sentence actually says jumps instead of jumped.
Overwise it wouldn't contain any "S".
And yes I went through the whole alphabet to find out.
I was just about to go through it to check, and then I figured maybe someone else did.. Here you are. :D
The text on screen says "jumped", but Dagogo says the word "jumps".
there isn't any h in that word and it's in the alphabet??
Toyota Priustoric ,”The”
I did too and i was looking for the letter "s". Yes it should be jumps instead of jumped
14:10 should be "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
Or "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs."
Don't know which are the correct one but I'm losing the S in the video,,, 😅
Yeahh it’s missing the S
@@Shenron557 nah, just "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
it have every alphabet for a keyboard test
or "The quick brown fox jumped over those lazy dogs
Found this channel 2 days ago and I have binged on it no stop. Outstanding content!
Still have the original 95 windows cd !
How many times did you get the error message on Win95 "Keyboard not found, press F1 to continue" ? xD Back in 1997 and 1998 I remember seeing this and thinking "Well if you can't find it what am I supposed to press?" Back then you could not unplug and plug the keyboard (without risk of damages ofc).. That was my favorite "feature" of Win95 when I was a little kid... Than 98 was far more stable but I miss the old school power supplies "It is safe to turn of your computer" - How many of you remember that message? xD
@@miroslavpavlov8131 I remember some time when I didn't get game to play on it I just left off for few months lol 😁 there is nothing to do with ! At least 98 had pinball
I still have the original Windows 95 beta
I think the first PC I ever owned was running WindowsNT. I bought it in a Christian charity, second hand store for seven bucks. Very clunky hardware, very slow, very frustrating, lots of crashes.
@@miroslavpavlov8131 I do!
How awesome. Another great video which was ironically interrupted by Amazon delivering your book I ordered 2 weeks back.
Latest, Microsoft worths $1.4 trillion which makes the *Microsoft most valuable company in the world*
@Iftakhar Alam edited 👍
Now It's 1.7 trillion
Apple says hi
now it's 3 trillion dollar surpassing apple@@lamaripiazza5226
Just Love How Much Effort You Put Into These Videos.
I Really Find It Useful and Love it.
Love your videos man, the amount of work you put in needs to be appreciated 💪💪💪
Satya Nadella is the reason Microsoft bounced back in the market.
One of the reasons. Large corporations like Microsoft, Apple, Shell and any other is not just their CEO, President, VP or Chief Executive.
@@andersonandrighi4539 what about Lisa Su for AMD?
@@DarkPa1adin th-cam.com/video/r6_QSila1oA/w-d-xo.html
CEOs and the top can be influent, but they do not make a tech company work if they lack engineers or funding to keep those projects running.
Satya Nutella is a great CEO :D
I've listened to his interviews and he seems like a VERY good CEO
This level of documentation is not easily achieved. Great vid!
Love these computer history videos. They are engaging and very slickly produced.
No word on Steve Ballmer's reign of (t)error D:
ColdFusion's videos are usually well researched, but this one significantly downplays the role of other large stakeholders since Bill Gates, like Steve Ballmer and Satya Nadella.
Good afternoon dagogo!
Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA!
Hi Dagogo I just want to say thank you for your amazing work.
Another top-notch video in the How Big series! Love 'em.
Hey Dagogo, This one was fascinating with the facts in the end. And do make an awesome video on ISRO.
You're the best quality and good quality music and information. Keep it up.
Dagogo I love you're content! You inspire me very much! Keep up the hard work man! You're amazing! I would love to have a story about Netflix if that hasn't been covered yet. Thank you and have a good day buddy
As usual, another amazing video by ColdFusion. Thanks a lot
Looks for the Battle links in description. Sees over 30 links!
Very informative video. Keep making more. :)
Fascinating informative video, as I have come to expect from you. Thank you for having the wisdom and foresight to set the history of the fastest changing era ever in world history as it happens. Your channel is amazing and unique.🖤🇨🇦
Your new logo and intro graphic is astonishingly good!!!!
Incredible company, changed the lives of everyone watching this. Do one on CISCO please
Agree
*Microsoft is huge.*
Their best move was to accept the Open Source idea.
The converted to the device + software as a service or subscription.
Selling expensive software on CDs is a bit harder today. Software as a service or subscription is a lot more simple, when all the upgrades happen on the server, and the use has no need to do anything for the upgrade or security.
Let's hope Microsoft will respect and honor their commitment to the Open Source model and competing projects.
Android apps would make Microsoft even better, if they had some innovation in that.
Open source is great for advancing humanity since you can crowdsource from everyone to build whatever software you want, but a shit business model for making money. You'll never turn a profit and is solely dependent on good will/donations.
@coldfusion Thank you. I really like your research. Keep up the good work.
Good evening from Hamburg 🇩🇪. Just finished my regular dose of Coldfusion’s addiction. Thank you Team! Shoutout to all the hardworking team of Coldfusion!
“The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” contains all the alphabet letters, except S.
*dogS. there, fixed it for u
it would if you had phrased it right: *jumpS
@@colonelvgp Guys, I did not write that for no reason. 14:12 :)
I know mistakes happen.
“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is better.
Love your videos!
I think it would be great if there were a Discord community where people can share their thoughts on your videos and technology subjects in general. Would be pretty cool!
Keep up the good work!
This
I really like these new thumbnails lately, they look legit professional :)
Something about your videos idk what it is, just love when you upload
5:10 some shade thrown by Bill Gates there :) For those who do not understand, writing smaller code means greater efficiency, meaning a 'better' programmer
I just want you to know that, when I get a notification from your channel, I immediately press the like button so I don't forget later after I'm finished with the video.
Dagogo, I love your productions my friend. Well done
Your videos and content and most of all the way you narrate your videos is absolutely top shelf!
Hey Coldfusion, slow down. You seem to be much more paced in your videos than you were in the early days. Chill out, the older videos were much more filled with a relaxed tone that I really liked! 🙂still love your vodeos regardless. Peace, keep up the good work.
Finally the new HOW BIG Series, I love it !
Your work is truly a piece of art. Great job
Damn the time you invest in research information and video material is insane. Keep up your work!
Here in the UK back in the late 80's, I kept hearing about this new product called MS DOS. At the time there was a toilet cleaner called Domestos. There was a point at which I thought a toilet cleaner manufacturer had taken over the computer software market!
LMMMAAOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
we have Domestos in Romania too 😂😂😂 it.s the best rlly
"Who was at this excutive staff meeting"
"Probably members of the excutive staff" lmfao remind me of lil waynes i dont recall that deposition
Your videos are calming to watch because you aren't continually babbling without breathing, or using jump cuts to have continuous rambling.
That COLD Fusion into is on another level, makes me feel way more connected than any other channel
Wow never been this early xD
Aye your Channel is Really one of my favorites !! Thank you for your existance ! It makes The human populations IQ grow by 10 points Merely by existing keep it up :3
I really hate how IQ has become so synonymous with intelligence. Just a bunch of random tests.
If it actually worked all schools and companies would use it.
You are such a good video producer. Keep it up.
That product call Bob, was what made computers make sense to me. That and fact that I had just landed a job in a computer company and literally needed to understand computers by end of the weekend, then start job on Monday.
Man! This guys is truly a GENIUS!

I hope not, Chicane is a great musician
A bit of Chicanes Saltwater. Nice choice in music!
Great vid Dagogo! Thank you
Very well researched, but the bliss photo got me 15:19 :) Ah the good ol' days
I wanna be big enough that Coldfusion makes a video on me :D jokes apart your videos are great! keep it up
he gave up 95% of his wealth. He's still gonna be richer than me
What are you a billionaire?
He says he's going to, in his lifetime, but he hasn't yet. Fair play for commitng to doing so.👍
@@Pasthim True. Also a smarter move. His net worth would definitley be much higher at the time of his death, meaning that he would be able to give more away.
He's still gonna be richer than 99% of mankind.
Lol "gave up". Sociopaths like "Kill" Bill Gates never "give up" anything. You are being special kind of naive if you believe that by moving his assets from his own personal account to tax-exempt "charity foundation" whose sole purpose is to further his other business interests and investments is "giving up."
interesting as always... you made us stick to the screens throughout the video....
Your voice sounds so incredible.ultra professional video.this channel is damn good.
I’m still for‘how big is Airbus‘ for the next time 🤔
Love for Microsoft from India. Microsoft is my all time favorite. The video makes goosebumps to me about Microsoft and Bill Gates achievement. Today people are more happy to criticize Microsoft as they fell in love with Android and Apple. I still picture a day comes when Microsoft took over the world on Mobile platform as well. But it's really hard for Microsoft to achieve that.
Great video!
I loved the new graphics too!
You said something about Nadellas effect should not be overestimated because the products were already around, or whatever. To the contrary I think Nadellas effect was immense. Culturally he changed Microsoft in a lot of ways, like it's relation to open source. This has been an absolute essential part of their rise the last few years.
13:27 That's a great idea =D
Back when Bill Gates was the guy everyone loved to hate I heard an amusing joke. It went something like, if we could all just learn to share then we wouldn't need windows or gates
Your videos as always great quality. Maybe the greatest
Nice one as always. Could you kindly make a video on IBM.
You can HATE HIM but you have to RESPECT HIM...!!!
Bill Gates is the most recognizable icon of the PC era.
2+2=4
@@DamirMaatar 🤣🤣🤣
It's amazing how he's still alive today and still involved in Microsoft, considering the PC era was so long back and microsoft founded in 1975.
By the way if ur wondering the background music used midway through the video it's called tick of the clock by chromatics. It was also used in the movie drive featuring Ryan Gosling.
Really good video 👌👌 I really appreciate your hard work.
2:09 "...Paul Allen."
Patrick Bateman : *triggered*
With Apple increasing prices of everything it releases Microsoft is here to stay .
Just going through ColdFusion "how big series" & "new thinking" videos. Doesn't get old like other TH-cam programmes
A bit off topic: I have noticed in several videos from you now that you sometimes use some great electronic tracks in the background :P
14:15
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
Contrary to popular belief, this phase does not contain every letter of the alphabet, with the notable missing letter being "s"
A much shorter (and cooler sounding) alternative which actually does contain every letter would be "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow"
my father taught me that it was, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs or the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
the PDP was a mini-computer not a micro-computer
16:21 good quote. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS - UK
14:30 oh my god Wild Nothing!!!! You have a really great music taste
