MS-DOS was based upon 86-DOS by Seatle Computer Works. When IBM developed their first PC, they approach Microsoft to write the operating system; at that time, Microsoft wrote computer applications and, in particular, languages - MSBASIC was the industry standard - and didn't have an operating system. Bill Gates realised the opportunity and bought the rights to 86-DOS which was renamed MS-DOS to supply for the IBM-PC.
