Once again: the core of your "invasion" was the Shah's dismissal notice for his prime minister. Please explain that in more depth.
And the Brits offered Iran a 50:50 deal in 1949, Venezuela and Saudi-Arabia signed similar contracts in 1950 and took full control later on.

So even in an alternative universe without IBM PC, Microsoft with Xenix would have been a strong candidate to dominate the market. And Windows would be based on Xenix there.

But nobody offered a cheap Unix for the masses: Microsoft was more interested in its cooperation with IBM and gave their Xenix product to SCO.
SCO and the other Unix vendors preferred to address the high-end market with hefty price tags and big margins.

Interesting thought. CP/M and it's multiuser sibling MP/M were operating systems for 8-Bit-computers with floppy disks, it would have taken substantial change to make them fit for the future: hard disk, 32 Bit, etc. DRI completely failed on that.
The "next big thing" back then was Unix.

Bei Bluesky werden Mentions, Links, etc in Metadaten gespeichert. Die Erwähnung im Text ist nur optional. Bei Links kann man das recht einfach selber machen, bei Mentions klappt der Trick mit den üblichen Apps meines Wissens nicht, da braucht es schon einen Bot o.ä Werkzeuge.

This is an in-depth dive into how creating a post works on Bluesky. We'll use Python below, without a SDK, so you can see how it works behind the scenes.
