American History 1988

``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt. As the gate for upward mobility was on the verge of closing, he struggled to move forward. College, Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship; HP, Apple, Microsoft. To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

Chapter 385 Unified Front

"Grice, as far as I know, Microsoft was targeting Real Networks, right?

Free bundling, promotional restrictions, pressuring partners, I've seen all these tactics."

Dean had just met this former Microsoft executive, Robert Glaser, across from the Seattle arena on Yankee Avenue.

He was very surprised by Dean's arrival, as the competition between Netscape and Microsoft was becoming increasingly sharp.

Although Grice had left Microsoft, being in Seattle and because of the Real player affair,

he closely watched every move of his former employer. Dean's visit was really beyond Grice's expectations.

"Mr. Price, I have no intention of getting involved in your competition. Real Networks is developing well, perhaps..." Grice apologized with a shrug.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, especially because Microsoft was his former employer, and Grice knew all too well their tactics.
