Microsoft's fight against DR-DOS started from the beginning (when it undercut prices of CP/M-86 and in 1991-1992 (that's when beta versions of Windows 3.1 which refused to run under DR-DOS were released) DRI was quite alive and well. If course the final blow happened in 1995 (do you know that Windows 95 can be run under DR-DOS with a few patches?), but the "final NT solution" only happened in 2001 when XP was released. Think about it: ten years! More then enough time for the DRI to push GEM as a "GUI of choice". Sure, this humble message was one tiny episode of said fight, but it was quite real fight, not a staged one.
