I forgot about the fact that Bill Gates and his crew wrote the original 'IBM DOS'. IBM in its infinite beaurocatic wisdom let it go because PC's were just a fad. Look at Microsoft now. Much complaining about how they controll the market. |
Hmm. My history may be a little lacking today (up till after 12 AM last night, and then alarm goes off at 5:45), but I do believe that they were very seperate programs. Bill Gates bought DOS and IBM had another version of it. Back in the day, you had IBM-DOS and MS-DOS (Yes, I am dating myself, but ignore that fact). I think we should research this and find out for sure, because quite frankly, I forgot!
