IBM Let Microsoft Keep DOS - For Nothing

In 1980, IBM needed an operating system for their new personal computer. They called a 25-year-old Bill Gates, who didn't even own an OS. He bought one for $50,000, renamed it MS-DOS, and slipped in one clause IBM's lawyers barely glanced at: Microsoft keeps the licensing rights. That single clause created a $3 trillion empire - and cost IBM everything.

That's what the ledger shows.
