CP/M was significantly better than DOS. If Gary Kildall had not been such a dick and signed the non-compete with IBM, Gates would have faded into the dustbin of history and nobody ever would have heard of “Microsoft”.
I remember that. I had hoped that CP/M would have become the premiere O/S. One of my military supervisors even had a personal computer that could boot both CP/M and MS-DOS. She preferred CP/M.
