Well, it gave Dave Cutler a start in the OS business...
Otherwise he'd still be at DuPont and Microsoft wouldn't have stolen
WinNT.
Perhaps then KL's would've been upgraded to faster hardware and the VAX/VMS
OS would've never occurred. (I really like VAX/VMS though)...
Perhaps there would've been the 11/68... the Jupiter machine...
The 11/74...
Bill Gates would've just been a Basic seller.
Nah...
