My 2 cents:
Windows 95 is STILL compatible with CP/M 86
(The CP/M for x86 - Copyright Digital Research)
Where do you think functions 0H to 24H of int 21H come from ?

That gives you an idea of what they mean by
    "BACKWARD compatibility"

The bad thing about CP/M 86 is that there were no sub-directories,
and so there were none in MS-DOS 1.0

(By the way OS/2 can also run CP/M 86 programs)

Were did you want to go yesterday ?
