Had Digital Research, the company CP/M creator Gary Kildall set up to
sell CP/M, accepted the deal with IBM to make CP/M the default
operating system for the then newly-created IBM PC, we'd be living in
a very different world today.
You could get CP/M-86 with the PC for a small fee, or PC-DOS for free,
PC DOS was charged for by IBM, as I remember. Most other vendors bundled
MS-DOS (which was slightly different)
