If Gates and IBM had the same hurdles to cross as
manufacturers of products for aviation, we'd still be
running 20 MHz 486 machines under CP/M for 3 to 10x
the cost of a current off-the-shelf CPU.

CP/M ran just fine on the 8080 and Z80 chips so it's doubtful the

8086 or any of the other advanced processors would have made it past
the paperwork. Smile

on - about 10 years ago.)
