I don't see MS selling obsolete versions of its OS or allowing others to
freely obtain that obsolete OS because it would allow the use of older
machines ( and cost MS a new OS sale on a new machine).

Are there any commercial uses for CP/M anymore? I would think that some old
sales terminals still use DOS as an OS.
