It's probably partly aimed at Xerox.

They basically invented the GUI and because they were a monopoly in other areas, they didn't have people in place to recognize what an amazing thing they had.

Sounds like the basis/reason from which Joe McMillan left IBM in the amazing AMC series "Halt and Catch Fire".

Halt and Catch Fire was a really fun watch! And I love these type of storylines though offhand I can only think of this and Pirates of Silicon Valley. I was wondering if you knew of other similar shows/movies? I'm highly interested.
