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.

Some new movies like "The Big Short" (With Ryan Gossling and Steve Carrel) kinda follow this style and its hilarious. But unfortunately it isn't about technology, instead it's about finance.

[@victorkong82]

The reason was better dialogue, better character arcs, and better conflict. That scene between Jobs and Wozniak in the Steve Jobs movie says it all

[@victorkong82]

@ReaktorLeak Who cares if it was made up? It was thematically accurate to the underlying tensions Jobs and Wozniak had with each other - even Woz said so. With a movie like Jobs, accuracy is less in the moments and more in the allegories.

[@mskidi]

@@victorkong82 I care, because I read Walter Isaacsons' authorized biography of Jobs and he didnt look like a particularly witty guy when verbally attacked. In fact, the only time there was a similar confrontation it wasnt with Wozniak himself but with his father, who was an engineer himself. 'You built shit' he told Jobs, to which the latter responded by crying like a bitch, which was his most usual response if someone got up in his face. Afterwards, Wozniak took Jobs by the side and promised him that he didnt see things like his father, because Woz' enjoyed the camaraderie and wanted no part in any drama. Fassbender and Rogen unleashing Sorkinisms on each other, had nothing to do with Jobs, Wozniak or the dynamic between them. The TV movie was perfect in just about everything

@Melchi Zedeq: That IBM guy wasn't up on everything, it seems.

[@bustosadrian]

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.

[@ImNotADeeJay]

Boca Raton facilities where the IBM PC was developed are still in place (google Boca Raton BRIC) but they don't belong IBM anymore. The story goes they choose Florida for two reasons: To keep the creative team away from the bureaucracy of NY headquarters, and to give the execs in charge an excuse to make trips to Fl (at company expense).

[@FSB75]

Actually; IBM initially approached Microsoft for CP/M, apparently thinking that they could license CP/M since they made the Apple II card. To its credit, Microsoft pointed IBM’s execs toward DRI (Digital Research) down in California. Gary Kildall ring a bell? CP/M? What happened next has been subject to endless speculation and an urban legend in the tech industry. On the day when IBM showed up to negotiate with DRI, Kildall was delivering some documentation to a client using his private plane, leaving Dorothy (Gary's wife) and the company’s lawyers to hash out the deal. DRI apparently got stuck on the nondisclosure agreement after Kildall returned later in the day, and ultimately the deal came to nothing. Enter stage left...Microsoft and QDOS which became 86-DOS. Bottom line...Microsoft almost wasn't.

In reality, he was a frigging idiot and a drain on Microsoft after Gates. Bur he was Gates' college buddy. I literally saw an old interview he did scoffing at Apple's iPhone as going nowhere! Talk about lucking out! Now, MS has a very intelligent CEO who saw the value in buying a huge chunk in OpenAI!

[@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section]

​@@Kajehart Yes, we all know that legendary video in which Steve Ballmer pokes fun at the iPhone in his typical fashion, and how well his statements and point of view have aged. - Like fresh milk on the radiator. Personally, I much prefer a weak and incompetently run MS than one run by a competent but sly person. - The less MS can leverage its power and exploit its monopolies, the better for all of us. As I said, Steve Ballmer is portrayed as we know him from his public appearances. As a blustering loudmouth. - But what competences he had to be able to work in such high positions at MS is unclear, at least to me, even after watching the film.

[@shuboy05]

As far as I can tell Steve Ballmer was the business manager making sure the company was running smoothly. Even when he was CEO, he was more of a numbers guy than a tech guy. Which might be why the movie just made Ballmer the narrator and loudest guy without going into detail about his actual job at Microsoft.

[@Swordsman-gr9qc]

Ballmer came aboard after graduating Harvard, looks like he got his degree in Applied Mathematics and Economics. Wikipedia also says he went to Stanford but left the MBA program. As a youth he was very good at math.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Funny thing is, Gates in real life suggested IBM talk with Gary Kildall, who did own CP/M operating system. Had Gary been able to broker a deal with IBM, he may have ended up a billionaire, and Gates just another tech guy. It wasn't until Microsoft bought QDOS, from Tim Paterson, and Paul Allen then took that code into MS-DOS, which was then licensed, that Microsoft was really on the go, and the rest is history.

[@liquidsnake6879]

The movie is fake, it's a dramatization, if you read the actual history, IBM was aware they didn't have an operating system because THEY TOLD IBM THAT in their previous meeting where Gates instead sent them to meet Gary Kildall lol. IBM visited Kildall it went wrong for various reasons so they called Gates again and asked if they could arrange for an OS, they never actually had to have one built already (even if they went with Kildall, Kildall would've still had to port CP/M to IBM's pc and add the changes they requested). Microsoft just needed the know-how of how to make an OS, which Microsoft did, they were already developing Xenix at this point (their version of a UNIX operating system) The reason why DOS was purchased was due to IBM not wanting UNIX but rather something more user friendly, and due to time constraints that they needed it done quicker than Microsoft could do from scratch so they went to the guys who had DOS and licensed it, then purchased it outright a few days before the IBM PC launched. They also hired the guy who wrote that DOS, Tim Paterson, and he's the one that helped them re-write it into PC-DOS/MS-DOS (adding some stuff IBM wanted specific to their version of it) he worked for microsoft on and off for many years after this in fact, the last time he worked for them was between 1992 and 1998 i believe since then he went into business for himself The real story ofc wouldn't be a very fun movie, so they turned Jobs into a cult leader and Gates into a conniving evil mastermind lol much more interesting this way for a movie lol

Funny, but not what really happened. IBM approached MS twice. The first time Bill sent them to Gary Kildall, who had invented the first universal OS, but he was away and his wife refused to sign a non disclosure agreement, so IBM turned their back on Gary and when back to Bill. Bill then went and brought the rights to an OS which was copied from Gary's work, and then licensed it to IBM.....DOS stood for "Dirty Operating System", but they change the "Dirty" to "Disk".

[@ernestchae8612]

wait, but according to your words, the story depicted in the video did happen then, right? IBM approached Kildall first, but after not showing up, they went to Microsoft, who despite not having an OS, still agreed to supply IBM with one.

[@TheOneManWhoBeatYou]

Actually Bender did, then he robbed them blind and disappeared....

[@JLHBio]

Not really, IBM actually approach Microsoft by mistake in believing that they owned the company Digital Research. At the time, IBM was looking an O.S. that was compatible to the Intel 8088 since IBM PC DOS was inoperable with it. Since Microsoft owned the Z-80 softcard which allowed CP/M's to be run on the Apple 2's. They thought CP/M's were property of Microsoft but in reality that wasn't true. So, Gates and his crew got lucky and b.s. with them a bit by saying they have a disk operating system

[@Learnerofthings]

Not really how it happened. IBM went to Gary Kildall's company (at Bill Gates' request) looking for an OS and he couldn't be bothered to meet with them, so he told them to talk to his wife. She refused to sign the NDA that said 'we were never here'. IBM called Bill Gates back and Bill was like, "well Gary, you had your chance" and then went to Gary's wife, offered her $50K for the OS, and she sold it because they needed the money. Bill licensing the software was 100% true, because IBM, up until then, was all hardware and thought that was it. Oh well. :)
