Hee...we're still way off topic, but actually MS started out
by licensing a port of BASIC to the Altaire.  They later bought
what would become 'DOS' from a geek who had been playing with
cp/m style OS for a while at a pretty penny after they had
already licensed (a then non-existent product for them) the OS
to IBM.
