Revisionist history?

[George Toft]

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.
