MSDOS and CP/M 86 were very similar in many respects, but MSDOS had some missing parts.
Early on Digital Research attempted to market their CP/M 86 API (which was more conducive to multi tasking that the MSDOS API), but it was a market failure.

 Guns Drawn in Microsoft's Battle with State
To give some objective perspective, Dan Galorath, a computer consultant in El Segundo, Calif., was responsible for deciding between MS DOS 2.0 and CP/M as the operating system for an IBM PC clone that Commodore planned but never built.
Galorath told internetnews.com he jchose MS DOS for two reasons.
Galorath met with both companies before making the decision, and found them to be similar in their sales methods -- or lack thereof.

 CS322: Some Typical Operating Systems: MS/DOS, VMS, and Unix
These computers ran an operating system developed by Digital Research Corp. (no relation to DEC) known as CP/M. QDOS was written for Intel's 16-bit microprocessor - the 8086.
It attempted to provide a system for these machines that would be upwards-compatible with CP/M. At about the same time, Digital Research produced its own 8086 version of CP/M, known as CP/M 86.
When IBM decided to develop a line of personal computers based on the Intel 8086, they considered both CP/M 86 and MS/DOS, but ultimately decided to use the latter - calling it PC/DOS on their systems.
