I was told that it stole someone else's idea and ran with it.

Q-DOS was where it all began if I remember correctly.
My. The earliest I ever bothered to know about was MS-DOS.

Basically what Q-DOS was was a OS Bill Gates bought off of a computer programmer and rebranded as Microsoft Windows. And if memory serves the original Q-DOS code existed in Windows up until Windows 3?

As well, Q-DOS stood for Quick and Dirty Operating System.

It's been awhile since I learned all this, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or leaving something out. Don't really have time to fact check at the moment :/

Windows itself was an MS-DOS application up until Win 95; And even then it wasn't completely detached from DOS. Throughout its iterations, Microsoft was just piling up stuff, that's why later versions no longer ran on older hardware. NT was incompatible with a ton of software, Millennium and 6 were disasters, 8 is a complete interface downgrade and resource hog, and 10 is a local hatespeech surveillance tool with an insatiable thirst for automatic updates. People still wish they were using Windows XP from almost twenty years ago, the odd one that almost worked as intended.

Microsoft was always lazy and out of touch, and I can't fathom why it garnered so much success, as Linux distributions were freely available since the early nineties, and had always featured higher security and stability.

Apparently, Vista was the first to be a new Operating System, or the last to not be a new OS until then.

It's like with ignorant people being convinced by a computer shop/sales workers/adverts to waste money on M$ Office, when they could use OpenOffice for free.
