 If you look back at ms-dos as it was released, it was a pretty poor 
 product compared to the OS's available today. The introduction of 
 ms-dos was timely, and that there were no other operating "systems"
 which were available cheaply.

 It is pretty sad that such a poor program got such wide acceptance
 by being in the right place at the right time.
