This is discussed at length in the first chapter of Founders at Work. The chapter is written by Max Levchin (co-founder of PayPal) and discusses his bitter feud with Elon Musk over Musk's desire to convert systems over to Windows. Interestingly Musk is never mentioned by name.

- davidgerard 8y agoThis was also in Eric Jackson's history of PayPal. Jackson was a marketing guy, so had no technical dog in the fight, but he wrote this particular fight up. Jackson was the guy who realised that PayPal and eBay had massive synergy and worked super hard to get PayPal in there. Eventually leading to eBay buying them out, and Musk and Thiel going from merely rich to actually billionaires.
