MSFT had it ready by about january, and they could have had it ready at any time before then too... because all they did WAS CHANGE THE NAME OF QDOS to PC-DOS 1.0 after buying it...........

You don't know what are you talking about.

Anybody who knows what an operating system is and how it interfaces at a low level with hardware, knows that it is impossible for QDOS to run "out-of-the-box" on an architecture that hadn't even been finalized when Patterson sat down to clone CP/M and produced QDOS.
