Just four years later, Compaq was on the Fortune 500 list, and, two years after that, they had exceeded 1 billion in annual revenue. No company had ever achieved these milestones so rapidly.But few know the story behind the story. In 1982, when Compaq was founded, there was no software standardization, so every brand of personal computer required its own unique application software. Just eight years later, compatibility with the open PC standard had become ubiquitous.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
