Well actually, most of the "advanced" features in DOS *were* copied 
almost directly from UNIX, which Microsoft happened to have a stake in 
at the time. (i.e. Xenix) 

A *lot* of things we take from granted come from UNIX, and UNIX servers
are very hot- the only things that easily overmatch them are mainframes,
and even there they are giving ground. :)
