    Killdall was still a fairly successful guy, but I get that he felt cheated. It's sad to see that he spiraled downward. A brilliant man who was taken advantage of. It's tragic. I really appreciate his contributions to Personal Computing. A true pioneer that should not be forgotten. Sad.

      Quite sad indeed, I think he was more of an idealistically programmer and technical mind than a ruthless businessman, while I was researching the video I remember reading somewhere that he didn't think operating system companies should ever build applications because it would cause a conflict of interest, Bill Gates on the other hand really didn't care, Gates was a ruthless businessman who wanted to dominate at all costs without a single regard for ethics.

    I had DR-DOS on my PC in the early 1990s. It ran great and I used it with Geoworks Ensemble 3.0, which was like Windows 3.1 and MS Office all rolled into one!
