The 'DOS Ain't Done 'til Lotus Won't Run' Myth 425

Posted by timothy on Tuesday August 02, 2005 @07:08PM from the iconoclasm dept.

Otter writes "We've all heard the story of Microsoft's battle cry of "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run". Adam Barr investigates the myth, interviewing various Microsoft and Lotus old-timers (including Mitch Kapor), and finds no basis for its legitimacy or any case of 1-2-3 actually not running. Whom to blame for Lotus Notes is not discussed."
