There was an episode of "computer chronicles" about that...I believe it is on youtube, the gary kildall episode in memory of him after he had recently died. He was a co-host of the show...Anyway, he WAS at the meeting says the show, but microsoft sold both dos and cp/m after. cp/m for 6 times the price without telling Kildall.
Yep, he sure was. Shame he was off flying when the phone call from IBM came in. Two guys, Allen and Gates picked up the IBM PC... The rest is history ;)

I like your name, "CPM is Alive". Gary Kildall was cool.
