Hi,
When the IBM BIOS was reverse engineered, it opened up IBM PC clones. Then the PC market took off and there was lots of competition with IBM compatible PCs.
Then after like the mid 1990s, it was PC vs MAC, and IBM compatible was a thing of the past.
Had the IBM PC BIOS not been reverse engineered and/or IBM successfully shut down clones like Apple did, where would we be today. I can only imagine.
Do you think it would be IBM dominating the PC market with much higher prices with their only competitor Apple? Or do you think someone else would have come up with something open? Or hard to say?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
