Note
Early 1980s Japan was the battleground where major corporations vied for a foothold in the computer market. It was there that Kazuhiko Nishi proposed the creation of the first computer system intended to be an industry standard from its inception in 1983.
But… who was Kazuhiko Nishi? How did he become friends with Bill Gates? What role did he play at Microsoft? How was MS-DOS conceived and developed? What role did the IBM PC and MS-DOS play in the development of an 8-bit microcomputer standard in Japan, spearheaded by the American company Microsoft? Who else participated in the project? What was the significance of the BASIC programming language in all of this? What were the initial steps and launches of the MSX standard?
In this volume, Jordi Orte analyzes the history of the birth of the first standard, focusing on the people who made that milestone possible, from Kazuhiko Nishi himself to his friend Bill Gates and their fruitful work at Microsoft developing projects together for the most important companies in Japan and the United States.
