本文考察了八十年代初微型计算机市场的发展。S，一个被广泛采用的操作系统，被用户和开发界遗弃了。一种新的操作系统DOS和一种新的硬件平台IBM PC成为了先行的行业标准。我们检查反映与竞争平台的硬件、软件和外围设备相关的销售活动的数据之间的统计关系。我们的结论是，DOS开发的经济过程与CP/M的经济过程不同，其中许多差异与软件开发的角色有关。
In this paper we examine the development of the micro-computer market in the early 1980's. CP/M, a widely adopted operating system, was orphaned by the user and development communities. A new operating system, DOS, and a new hardware platform, the IBM PC, became the prediminant industry standards. We examine the statistical relationship between data that reflects sales activity associated with hardware, software, and peripheral equipment for the competing platforms. We conclude that the economic process underlying the development of DOS differed from those underlying CP/M and that many of these differences related to the role of software development.
