Finally i watched “Pirates of the silicon valley”.

Pirates of Silicon Valley is a 1999 film based on the book Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine. It is an unauthorized made-for-television docudrama written and directed by Martyn Burke which documents the rise of the home computer (personal computer) through the rivalry between Apple Computer and Microsoft.

I had been looking for this movie since a long time a movie about how Microsoft & Apple emerged, but my continuous search didn’t help me find it on a DVD so i tried torrents and attempted to download twice which failed. Once the file got corrupt and the second time i downloaded a version in German language so the torrents didn’t work out for me, but thanks to a friend who had successfully downloaded an English version & i was able to get the copy and watch it over finally.

A very interesting movie and of course i recommend it to all technology enthusiasts and clearly shows that Microsoft & Apple are build on a foundation of stolen technology but the credit goes to them as they were the ones who could envision its future while others discarded it.
