Leading the Computing Industry and Signing NDAs

Hi

I found this BusinessWeek article about a great story of the early developments of the computing history.

It's a great story about software pioneer Gary Kildall, who missed out on the opportunity to supply IBM with the operating system for its first PC - essentially handing the chance of a lifetime, and control of tech's future, to rival Bill Gates and Microsoft Corp.

There is everything you can imagine, small things that occur daily in business life (signing NDA, attending or not a meeting, decide about the pricing of a product, deciding when to go on holiday, respecting a deadline) that may seem irrelevant when they happen, but then, in a broader perspective, they can define a business.

Found the article at http://in.us.biz.yahoo.com/bizwk/041015/b3905109mz063_1.html
