 QDOS - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
QDOS, the "Quick and Dirty Operating System," was a simple 16-bit operating system originally written in just four months by Tim Paterson in 1980 for an Intel 8086-based computer kit sold by Seattle Computer Products, which became famous as a part of one of the greatest legends in computer folklore.
QDOS was created because sales for the Intel 8086 computer kit were languishing due to delays in developing CP/M-86, a version of CP/M that would run on that system.
However, the most prevalent story, and the one relayed by Bill Gates, is that when IBM approached Gary Kildall, author of CP/M, for a license, Kildall kept the IBM executives waiting for hours while he went flying in his airplane.
