Tim Paterson programmed the first xx-DOS operating system in 1979 to run on the first 8086 (PC) computer card built by Seattle Computer. MicroSoft ended up buying this operating system and renamed it, "MS-DOS".

∙ 15y agoIBM had a whole staff of engineers. They were building computers from the early 1950s, but when a lot of small companies put little ersonal computers on the market in the late 1970s, IBM designed the first IBM PC in 1982. They commissioned Bill Gates to create an operating system for it which was called PC-DOS, but Gates also sold a modified version of it as MS-DOS. In a few years the two DOS operating systems were completely compatible. DOS was replaced by Windows after Apple marketed their own computer and operating system which had the advantage of "what you see [on the screen] is what you get" on the printout, or WYSIWYG. Windows copied that.
