operating system
and its graphical interface into one package.
With a worldwide promotional campaign costing $300 million,
it looks set to become the industry standard
supplanting Microsoft's old warhorse DOS.
Cue the triumph of Bill.
A software nerd is the richest man in the world.
But even as Bill Gates bestrides
the PC world like a colossus,
ahead lie bigger battles, battles
that will make the trouncing of the Mac
and mastering the IBM PC
look like a tea party.
The Gates fortune was built on setting the
industry standard for PC operating systems.
Fine as long as PC's are
stand alone boxes on your desk.
But now they are being linked into a worldwide network,
the much hyped information superhighway.
The PC on the internet is a mailbox,
a telephone and a television.
Of course at the centre of this will be the idea of
digital convergence that is taking all the information
books, art, movies and being able to provide that
on demand on what the PC will have evolved into.
The Internet is the next wave of the information revolution
where there is as yet no industry standard,
a world where even Bill Gates seems unsure.
You know, if you take the way
the Internet is changing month by month,
if somebody can predict what's going to happen
three months from now, nine months from now
even today eh my hat's off to them,
I think we've got a phenomena here that is moving
so rapidly that nobody knows exactly where it will go.
Bill Gates isn't resting on his laurels.
He's making new alliances, like investing in
Steven Spielberg's new movie studio, Dreamworks.
He's in cable TV with broadcaster NBC and in
competition with Rupert Murdoch and Mickey Mouse.
These tycoons are a far cry from
the nerds Bill has so far outsmarted
guys like Gary Kildall who became
businessmen by accident.
Even Bill's victory over IBM was really with a corporate outpost
a long way from the attention of Big Blue Headquarters.
No - Bill's new rivals are hotshots, not hippies.
And one of them is the guy I'm visiting.
He hopes the Internet will go somewhere
other than to Bill Gates' bottom line.
He's betting it will soon consign the PC itself
to the trashcan and do the same to Microsoft.
Larry Ellison is the boss of Oracle,
a booming business that sells software to companies
who share information among hundreds of users.
In Atherton, the most exclusive suburb in Silicon Valley,
the bachelor billionaire has built himself
a 10 million dollar samurai mansion. Naturally!
I want to have a large pond about 5 acres of water
surrounded by several little buildings like a village.
With his ceremonial carp Larry contemplates
the coming battle with Microsoft.
People make a terrible mistake of thinking
IBM is the present and Microsoft is the future
I think IBM is the past and Microsoft is the present
and the future has not happened so we don't know what company,
what technology is going to be dominant.
These are temple guardians from the Koma Kura period
and, they you know you would have
one on either side of your door and,
the job was to scare employees of Microsoft away
and keep them from entering the Temple.
We shouldn't spend all of our time wringing our hands
about Microsoft you know
Microsoft world domination that eh
there still room enough for innovation.
there's going to be change and
Microsoft's future is not assured.
Anything good for the Internet.
Yeah I'm very supportive of it because
the Internet does not require a PC.
Larry believes the PC will be replaced with
a cheap device he calls an information appliance.
It will be a glorified television which will
access information and computing
simply by connecting to
giant computers via the Internet.
Just like turning on a tap.
and the PC will go the way of the well and the bucket.
I hate the PC with a passion.
Me going down to the store
and buying Windows 95,
I've got to get into my car drive down
to a store, buy a cardboard box full of bits,
