Makes for some interesting reading, anyway.... talks of Microsoft,
Apple, Atari, IBM, Xerox, HP, and others as the story traces a
time-line of Microsoft Windows.

Here's a cut and paste to get you to the story:

Microsoft's latest OS offering didn't invent itself, and neither did
the
first Windows apps. It was a long, sometimes painful evolutionary
period
spanning at least the last 30 years. Would it surprise you to know
that
Atari was a contender for the OS crown? Find out how, and more, in
our
feature story "30 years of Windows: a retrospective." It's an
enlightening look at the history of the Windows OS, and the history
of
computing itself.
