Several pieces of software helped to position where Bill Gates is now. Although not terribly relevant today in it's own right, I think BASIC probably helped him in the right direction. IBM asked Microsoft to port BASIC to their IBM PC. Since Digital Research did not license CP/M to IBM, and Microsoft had a working relationship with them, they were asked to write the system's software. Microsft bought the rights to QDOS, made some changes, and it became known as PC-DOS. IBM did not stop Microsoft from selling the software to other companies, so they did, renamed as "MS-DOS." And so Microsoft began gaining money, because of the growth of the IBM PC-clone industry.
