CP/M was subsumed by the Microsoft Borg.

I hate to utter the words “this time may be different,” but it may well be the case. Linux has achieved size and momentum. If Microsoft were to come up with a popular variant, I don’t think it would be destructive at this point.

I do. That was an extremely primitive operating system.
