Really MMS should stop trying to write operating systems and simply
write an API that duplicates all windows APIs but runs on X86 linux.

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.�

People just have to have the latest and greatest thing today. W8 and W10 are complete spy machines. I guess in this day and age people who have been naked and fornicated with any and every high school student don't care about privacy.

Wait till it downgrades to CP/M, on what MS-DOS is based on, at least
heavily borrowed from.

MS-DOS was based on material purchased from a local software
house that was trying to clone CP/M. From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS
Quoting from Wiki.
Further information: DOS and Timeline of DOS operating systems

MS-DOS was a renamed form of 86-DOS[7] – owned by Seattle Computer
Products, written by Tim Paterson. Development of 86-DOS took only six
weeks, as it was basically a clone of Digital Research's CP/M (for
8080/Z80 processors), ported to run on 8086 processors and with two
notable differences compared to CP/M; an improved disk sector buffering
logic and the introduction of FAT12 instead of the CP/M filesystem. This
first version was shipped in August 1980.[3] Microsoft, which needed an
operating system for the IBM Personal Computer[8][9] hired Tim Paterson
in May 1981 and bought 86-DOS 1.10 for $75,000 in July of the same year.
Microsoft kept the version number, but renamed it MS-DOS. They also
licensed MS-DOS 1.10/1.14 to IBM, who, in August 1981, offered it as PC
DOS 1.0 as one of three operating systems[10] for the IBM 5150, or the
IBM PC

Later Gates would, to settle any lawsuit, offer additional
payment to Tim Patterson.

Oh listen to the sound of the rip-offs.

Which heavily borrowed from OS/8.

Wasn't CP/M itself based on the OS on a 8080 ICE system?

Not quite. Quoting from:A Short History of CP/M
http://www.landley.net/history/mirror/cpm/history.html


The Start

In 1972 Gary Kildall was teaching computer science at the United States
Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey when he saw an advertisment for
Intel's first microprocessor, the 4-bit 4004, on a college bulletin
board. Gary decided to buy one and started writing programs for it. Soon
after he visited Intel and started working as a consultant for their
(very small) microprocessor division. Working one day a week at Intel in
his time off from teaching at college Gary wrote the first high-level
language for a microprocessor, Intel's 8-bit 8008. He called the
language PL/M (Programming Language for Microcomputers) which was a play
on the name of IBM's PL/I language, and as part payment for his work

Intel gave him an Intellec-8 development system for his own use.
This development system was gradually upgraded by Intel to run an 8080
processor, a paper tape reader, and a display monitor. In 1973 in return
for more programming Gary received a floppy disk drive from Shugart and
he asked a friend, John Torode, to build a controller for the drive that
would attach it to his development system. Once it was working this
floppy disk system was a huge improvement over paper tape and
transformed the system into a real microcomputer, but it needed software
to help make use of the disk. Gary sat down and used his PL/M language
to write this software, the first operating system for microprocessors,
CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers).

From:A Short History of CP/M
http://www.landley.net/history/mirror/cpm/history.html

I ran CP/M from a Commodore 64/128 and was not impressed by
it but that was a severely disk-bound system. And my typing was even
worse then than now. It did get me hooked on dungeon crawls though.

IIRC, DOS 1 was a lot like CP/M, with a few new features, such as file
timestamps.

Yes I know.

After the source code of MS-DOS was recently published

I knew someone selling DOS 2 source code about 1985.

I read an article
(if anybody cares I can try to find it) of someone doing a deep
analysis, whether MS-DOS was a "clone" of CP/M. It turned out not, but
that system calls from CP/M were otherwise used.

Aaaaaand I should had added a ";-)" to my previous article.

That's no surprise to Windows users - when you have Windows in
your computer, your computer is ipso-facto owned by MS. MS just lets you
use it.

Apparently you haven't read very many OS TOCs.

Apperently the difference between 'de jure' and 'de facto', (or ipso
facto), has passed you by.
