Heck, even MS-DOS 2 as we knew it would not have been
what it was,
were it not for Unix.
Wasn't it MS-DOS 2 that introduced such advanced features as
directories, pipes and general console I/O redirection?
Of course most software that ran on top of DOS broke much of the
redirection niceness by addressing the console directly via video
memory access...
