Well, CP/M
came with a good assembler, MS-DOS didn't. That's where
I draw the line in my head. Admittedly the version of ASM that came with
CP/M wasn't awfully featurefull, but it did work. And you got documentation
for writing programs with CP/M. And admittedly MS-DOS commonly was
installed with some version of MS-BASIC, but I (personally) don't
categorize that as a "real" development tool.
Didn't _early_ versions of MS-DOS come with an assembler of sorts? I could
have sworn they did.
