Boy, the early internet feels like caveman energy. So Microsoft led by Bill Gates was young, scrappy startup. You gotta remember like at this point, Macintosh, those was just the computers in the school lab. Like when you went to the computer lab at school, there was these funny looking things that we just had to learn when we did our typing classes.
you know you just did it on that so microsoft at the time was developing windows right so windows 9 you know windows 95 and that's that which was the operating system which you guys know already and then microsoft office so spreadsheet you know powerpoint microsoft word and everything that comes just microsoft's like just mark it's windows like it's microsoft
What they started doing, because Bill Gates ain't dumb, is he was taking over while Apple and them was working towards school and fun and stuff like that. Microsoft was taking over the corporate world. And every company, every work computer was a Windows computer.
microsoft office and then eventually once we hit windows 95 you know that whole like you know the the the the the apple like you know sessions where they launch new products like windows invented that like that was microsoft like it was just goofy even the the the user video the training video for how to use microsoft office and windows 95 had believe it or not
actors from friends from the show friends was on it jay leno did the the monologue like like it was the biggest thing in the world because it was just change you gotta remember this is where tech was and what else that they did that was amazing was if you bought a laptop you gotta remember there was a million different types of laptops you could you remember hp you remember
acer you could get any type of just like before the ipod there was zooms like there was a million different other products and then somebody takes over and just wins the thing what microsoft did was they cut a deal with pc and laptop companies and was like yo so let us be your default operating system so if anybody wants to use another operating system an os they're
Like a Macintosh, you gotta take all that stuff off and put a new one in. Now, Macintosh was smart enough to say, no, our operating system works on our products only. But set that to a side right now. Microsoft was like, cool, y'all can have your own little weird egg-shaped
computers will take over every other computer on earth and that's kind of what they did they just cut a deal and it was just like yeah dude like yo if you're selling a laptop you're selling a desktop it's got microsoft operating system already installed so we already got a deal so we didn't even got sell it to the consumers it's already sold to the manufacturer kind of brilliant i mean why wouldn't you do that now while this is happening
something else was being invented a little old thing called the world wide web the internet was being made around this time let's talk about that next Okay, so now that the internet's being made, you know, you got to buy your modems. What nobody thought about, because you have to remember, nobody knew what the internet was, is you have to have a way to get on there. Browser?
No, you need a browser. It's so stupid. It's so stupid that I have to point that out, right? Because there was no separate apps for your emails or for... There was no apps. The apps were Microsoft. You need a browser to get on the internet. The browser, there was a lot of different types. There was Navigator. There was... And at the time, that's all that Netscape made.
They were the only browsers. I mean, it was fine. Like, what else did we know? You got on the Internet with on a Netscape browser. You bought your little AOL disk, which we're going to talk about in a second. Bought your little AOL disk, popped it in, you click the disk and then it would throw the Netscape. Like you just that was the only that's how you opened the Internet. was the browser.
Of course, now we got Chrome, Firefox, Safari. We got those things, but you got to remember, we didn't know what those things meant. None of those things existed. Netscape was how you got to the internet. Bill Gates ain't stupid. He was like, yo, this the future. We need a, hold up, we need a browser. His browser was called Internet Explorer. That's how you got on the Internet.
His browser was trash. Right. Because they was too busy making too many different things. They was making laptops, they was making office, they was making windows, they was making all these different things. They didn't really make browsers. But he's not stupid. He knew that this was the future. So the browser got better and better and better.
And then he realized, like, wait a minute, I have a million vendors I work with. Every laptop already has my product in it. Stupid. Why don't I bundle Internet Explorer with it? As a matter of fact, I'll throw an Internet Explorer free. It just comes with it comes with Microsoft. It comes with Windows. Windows is already on every laptop. I'll just it's so stupid.
Like, duh, I don't have to sell it. I'm already nobody. Can you name another word processing? What's what's the Mac with numbers? Adobe Pages? I'm saying even now we don't use it. Maybe you write in Google Docs, which we're going to get to later, but nobody writes it. You use Word almost two decades, right? What else is there? So they were like, duh, let's just add our product.
Let's just add Explorer to every laptop. Obviously Netscape's like, well, wait a damn minute, bro. Are you serious?
They were like, you're breaking antitrust laws. So they wrote a letter to the Department of Justice like, yo, fam, I can't like, can't nobody compete with this. This ain't right. 200 page letter. Justice Department was like, huh, you might be on to something. Because, like, you're, like, this is what seems to us, like, this is anti-competition. Like, you just boxed everybody out.
Like, you just gave everybody the product for free. You just gave everybody the weight for free. Somebody come in your hood and just passing out weed for free. It's like, well, how can I run a business? Like, I don't understand. Like, if every car come through your neighborhood has already got a vape in it, like, well, I mean... What I'm supposed to do?
Why you think the gas company so mad or why you think these oil companies so mad about electric cars? Because it's like, oh, nigga, I don't need you no more. Like, wait a minute. This is leading us to obsolescence. But there but but what specifically about an antitrust is or this monopoly is like this is the same product. And you guys are like, this is David and Goliath out this mug.
Like you already like there's no I can't compete with this. This is like there is no competition. I don't want to get into the like operating system business like we make an Internet browser and you're just giving yours away for free. And and even if people don't want it, which is where we get what has to do with Google, even if people don't want it, it just comes with the lab.
