Another one:
- all PC clones used the (not otherwise impressive) FAT file system, there were only a handful (SD/DD, single, double side, all soft-sector'd and in the early eighties all 5.25") floppy disk formats, while in the CP/M world every vendor used its own from 8" to 3" (yes, 3, not 3.5"). So software could much more easily be, er, "shared".
