On Eve of PC's 30th Birthday, IBM and Microsoft Debate Its Future | |

Friday is the 30th anniversary of the PC, but executives who helped develop and advance the groundbreaking technology have different opinions on its future. IBM's Mark Dean, who helped design the first PC, has "moved beyond the PC," he said in a Wednesday blog post. Microsoft's Frank X. Shaw, however, argued in a separate post that we are now in the "PC Plus" era, which is evident in continued PC sales and all the devices that have PC components at their core. The IBM 5150 personal computer made its debut in New York City on August 12, 1981. Though other PCs had come before it, like the Apple II and Commodore PET, Shaw said "the introduction of the IBM PC was a defining moment for our industry [because] once IBM entered the market with a system running the Microsoft Disk Operating System, MS-DOS, our industry really began to realize the dream of a PC on every desk and in every home." | ||
