Gary Kildall: Pionero de la Computación Personal
Gary Kildall, un científico de la computación estadounidense y emprendedor de microcomputadoras, es más conocido por crear el sistema operativo CP/M, que desempeñó un papel importante en el desarrollo de la revolución de las computadoras personales. Nacido en 1942, las contribuciones de Kildall al campo de la ciencia de la computación han teni…

I'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. 🥰
The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.

@CharlieMcHenry Thanks for sharing this. It was only a few years ago that I realised he was a co-host of Computer Chronicles from 1983-1990, most episodes of which are on The Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/Computer_Chronicles

Gary Kildall was an important figure, and early #OS pioneer during the seminal period of the personal computer revolution. CP/M Creator Gary Kildall’s Memoirs Released as Free Download… Gary Kildall’s story shows how he paved a path for the start-up culture, say his children… I totally agree. The computing world would be substantially different had he chosen to meet with the IBM suits who were looking for an OS for their new PCs. But Kildall didn’t like suits, they made him nervous is the story. Great guy, great mind… #GaryKildall #RetroComputing #technology #computing #ComputingHistory

🚨BREAKING: In an unprecedented plot twist, Gary Kildall's #memoirs are now as accessible as the legendary software he created. 📚✨ Meanwhile, the internet gods have decreed with a 403 that your burning desire to read them is "Forbidden," proving once again that the digital age prioritizes irony over information. 🙃🔒

Fifty years of the PC operating system… a historic look at the contributions of pioneer Gary Kildall and his CP/M operating system to the #PersonalComputer revolution. I go back to this period, and am so there for any tributes to Kildall who IMO deserves a lot of credit for his vision and early contributions. Plus, he was just an awesome guy. #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory #OperatingSystems #OS #CPM #GaryKildall

I vividly remember the DOS wars when I was using an early IBM compatible. I also remember DR-DOS being noticeably better than MS-DOS (accessing high memory etc) but I had no idea about all these tangles behind the scenes, or that DR-DOS was essentially a clone of the OS that had previously cloned CP/M.
It also seems that Gary Kildall embraced many of the principles that are enshrined in open source today, long before open source was coined as a term.
What was particularly tragic for me, in this story, was that essentially IBM had not agreed to Digital Research's request for royalties instead of an outright license purchase, and yet ultimately the deal with Microsoft was based on royalties. In other words, the original deal could have been done with DR.
And yes, Microsoft was originally just a language company without any operating system. They actually bought their first operating system (said to be a clone/copy of Gary Kildall's OS) for a steal.
In the business world, though, it comes down to who is the most ruthless and who has the money. The innovators basically get bought out. Yet as far as brilliant products go, we are totally still dependent upon those innovators to innovate.
I'm glad Hackaday featured this article about Gary Kildall, as it is a pity we did not know all this then, but the world was a very different place in the 1980s. All three parts of the video are well worth watching to understand how all the parts unfolded, and Part 3 gives insight into where DR-DOS came into the picture, what Gary did after that, and how he tragically died so young in the 1990s.
Given today's susceptibility to conspiracy theories, and the DOS wars etc raging in the early 1990s, I really had to hold myself in to stop thinking his death was something sinister, given his pending book publication, and the later fact that his kids did not want to publish the latter part of his book.
See Bill, Steve, And Gary… Computer PioneersIf you ask your neighbor who Bill Gates or Steve Jobs is, they’d probably know. But mention Gary Kildall, and you are likely to get a blank stare unless you live next door to another Hackaday…

#AlsGeekLab does a good job of telling the story of #GaryKildall and #DigitalResearch. It's important to be reminded just how rapacious and repeatedly scummy #BillGates and #Microsoft were, from the very beginning.
As others on here have said in different contexts: if someone shows you who they are, believe them. Being a philanthropist doesn't give you a free pass for your bad behaviour, and creates all kinds of perverse incentives. Shout out to #AnandGiridharadas and his 2018 book "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World".
