IIRC, they bought it from Seattle Computer Products, *AFTER* they sold
it to IBM.  Even back then MS was showing it's lack of business ethics.

Also, Q-DOS, which eventually became MS-DOS & PC-DOS was originally
inteded as a development system for SCP, while they waited for CP/M-86
to be released.  Since it wasn't originally intended as a commercial OS,
it had a lot of deficiencies, which carried over into MS-DOS and PC-DOS.
