'''Tim Paterson''' (nato nel [[1956]]) è un programmatore di computer [[Stati Uniti d'America|Statunitense]], famoso per essere l'autore originale di [[MS-DOS]], il più diffuso [[sistema operativo]] degli [[anni 1980|anni '80]].
Durante gli studi all'[[Università di Washington]], Paterson lavorò come un [[tecnico]] riparatore per un negozio di [[computer]] a [[Seattle, Washington]]. Dopo la laurea con lode nel giugno del [[1978]], andò a lavorare per la [[Seattle Computer Products]] come ingegnere e progettista.

Riga 5 ⟶ 10:
Educated at the [[University of Washington]], Paterson worked as a repair [[technician]] for a computer store in [[Seattle, Washington]]. After he graduated ''[[magna cum laude]]'' in June [[1978]], he went to work for [[Seattle Computer Products]] as a designer and engineer. He designed a schematic of Microsoft's [[Z-80 SoftCard]] which had a Z80 CPU and ran the [[CP/M]] operating system on an Apple II.

A month later, Intel released the [[8086]] CPU, and Paterson went to work designing an [[S-100 bus|S-100]] 8086 board, which went to market in November [[1979]]. The only commercial software that existed for the board was a standalone version of [[Microsoft BASIC]]. The standard CP/M operating system at the time was not available for this CPU and without a true operating system, sales were slow. Paterson began work on QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) in April [[1980]] to fill that void, copying the [[Application programming interface|API]]s of CP/M from sources including the published CP/M manual so that it would be highly compatible. QDOS was soon renamed as [[86-DOS]]. Version 0.10 was complete by July 1980. By version 1.14 86-DOS had grown to 4,000 lines of assembler code.<ref>
