MS-DOS1982
1982 Byte July 330/3 Microsoft's MS-DOS (sold by IBM as PC-DOS and by Lifeboat Associates as SB-86)... MS-DOS is faster [than CP/M-86] primarily because it buffers more data in each gulp and because it keeps the File Allocation Table in memory rather than on disk.
1992 PC World Apr. 30/1 I upgraded to MS-DOS 5.0 so I wouldn't have to partition the disk.
