That's kind of backwards; Microsoft might have written the New Testament, but it was IBM's playbook originally. IBM was one of the original tech industry supervillains back when Microsoft was still just two college dropouts selling BASIC. In Apple's "1984" ad it was IBM who was the totalitarian empire; it was only later that Microsoft took the mantle from their former master.
