Whoo! And I thought the little dispute would be set aside for causal hobbists to talk about their opinions.

interesting...

however, regardless of the outcome, either party will think they are right so i'm not sure if this will settle the score once and for all...

I would like to find this CP/M, if DOS is a "ripoff" from it. Althought does anyone accuse Linux/FreeBSD for being a Unix ripoff?

Intresting how it can take so long time before they decide to do anything, MS-DOS as a mainstream OS is of the past nowdays.

I used to have a version of CP/M for the Commodore 128...I never really did anything with it though, because I didn't have any programs, and it took forever to boot up. (The standard Commodore OS takes only a few seconds to boot up, because it's resident in ROM rather than on a disk.)

Ahhh... CP/M

86/MS-DOS have very much in similar with CP/M. Although both OSes are so bare-bones it's kind of hard for a rewrite (if it is) not to be.

SCO has that infamous thing about GNU/Linux being illegal. Of course, (almost) everyone now calls it the Smoke Crack Organisation. ~_~

I don't think the *BSDs have ever been attacked. Then again, I don't know much about them.
