Much has been made of Bill Gates' manipulation of IBM. But the decision to sign the contract with Microsoft was the culmination of a series of mistakes by Big Blue that reflected its complacency fit that time. As a result, it frittered away its dominance of the computer industry. One former IBMer likened the culture at Big Blue during that period to the old Soviet bureaucracy, where the way to get ahead was to impress your immediate boss rather than serve the real interests of the people. So it was that a bloated and complacent IBM collided with a hyperactive and hungry Microsoft. The effect was like introducing a fat and sleepy buffalo to a piranha.

Bill Gates氏がIBMを操作したことついては色々と言われている。マイクロソフトとの契約を決定したことは、その時代の無頓着さを反映するIBMの一連の失敗の、まさに頂点であった。その結果、IBMはコンピューター業界における優位性を失ったのである。ある元IBM社員は、この時代のIBMを旧ソ連の官僚社会に例え、当時は人々の本当の関心事に応えるのではなく、直属の上司に好印象を与える方が出世するという文化であったという。このようにして、傲慢で無頓着なIBMが非常に活発でハングリー精神のあるマイクロソフトと衝突したのである。それはまるで太った眠いバッファローをピラニアに紹介するようなものであった。
