  Why Linux owes (part of) its success to Microsoft
Time: 23:53 EST/04:53 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

One of the things that characterizes humanity is our ability to adapt quickly to external change - it’s the key reason, for example, that humans aren’t confined to one climatic zone on the planet.

On the other hand, we’re individually often really bad at adapting to external change - and I suspect that everyone who’s worked in IT for more than few months has been personally guilty of refusing to learn to use a new tool for a job simply because you felt comfortable doing it with the older, and far less efficient or effective, tool.

When IBM needed a basic OS that could run effectively on Intel’s 8088 processor the answer Patterson came up with for QDOS was to minimize CP/M’s overhead by stripping the kernel/shell layering - effectively eliminating Kildall’s commitment to portability and multi-processing to produce something tailored specifically to the limitations of one particular piece of hardware.
