MS-DOS was successful. Perhaps CPM is a better choice?

Well CPM wasn’t a failure because MS-DOS was better technically. It was more down to other factors like IBM selling it for a much lower price than CPM for the IBM-PC.

So to the original comment I think the poster means it’s like MS-DOS, but Windows or some such will come next and bring it to the mainstream.
