 It's probably not too far off target.  The original
QDOS was certainly
developed on a S-100 CP/M-80 system - Tim Paterson's articles in _BYTE_
make this much obvious - but most Microsoft products
of the era were cross-compiled from one of several DEC minicomputers
that Microsoft owned or "leased" time on.  I know that most of their early
Macintosh products were developed on a TOPS-10 system, in particular.
I would guess that after they bought QDOS, Microsoft moved development
to a TOPS-10 platform.

    Do you have copies of those articles handy? I'd really like to get
copies of them.

    Thanks.
