This is true for MS-DOS 1.0, but 2.0 introduced tree-structured directories, which 8-bit CP/M didn't have.

2.0 was also the "breakout" version of MS-DOS that made it win over CP/M.
It did it by introducing features inspired by another Microsoft OS, the Unix for 8080 known as Xenix: - tree structured directories - pipes - output redirection - DEV directory (mostly hidden as it didn't catch on, afaik)
