Subject: Re: Revisionist history?
Nowhere in the article does it say Microsoft wrote/created MS-DOS. The
only error I can see in there is that MS-DOS did not ship on IBM PC's in
1981. It was just called "DOS" - MS-DOS came out with version 2 when
Microsoft changed the OS to a license model and then deployed their own
for the clones. My memory may be getting a bit scrambled as that was
over 30 years ago.
