"...Microsoft, seeking an operating system for the IBM PC, bought the rights to market the system [QDOS] to other manufacturers for $25,000 that same month. On July 27, 1981, just prior to the August 12 PC launch, Microsoft bought the full rights to the operating system for an additional $50,000,.."
Now please stop making crap up. Or if you still think you're right, provide some reputable citations for your claims.
