Each computer would have itsown distinct hardware and its own version of MS-DOS, similar to thesituation that existed for CP/M, and with MS-DOS emulating the samesolution as CP/M to adapt for different hardware platforms. So therewere many different versions of 'MS-DOS' for different hardware. But thegreater speed attainable by direct control of hardware was of particularimportance, especially when running computer games. So very soon anIBM-compatible architecture became the goal, and before long all8086-family computers closely emulated IBM's hardware, and a only singleversion of MS-DOS for a fixed hardware platform was all that was neededfor the market.
