"Microsoft did not write the original Dos. They purchased at some rediculous price from someone else." True but did you know that when Bill Gates sold it to IBM he did not own it?
Microsoft bought DOS from Seattle Dos for $50,000,
They didn't sell dos to IBM, they licensed it and received royalties from every IBM pc sold because it came with PC-DOS (IBM's modification of MS-DOS)

And they licensed it to IBM before they bought it from Seattle Computing.
Don't they call that larceny?
