"What was so shocking to me was that
Windows was the second highest usage
application in the U.S. The number one
application was Doom," N. explained. To
him, this was a revelation. "It was a 12-
person company in the suburbs of Texas
that didn't even distribute through
retail, it distributed through bulletin
boards and other pre-Internet
mechanisms ... Microsoft was hiring
500-people sales teams and this entire
company was 12 people, yet it [id
Software] had created the most widely
distributed software in the world."
