Unix was around for a long time before CP/M or MS-DOS. It just took a long time before this rather complex piece of software replaced the trivial operating systems which preceded it on small computers. I don't see any other more capable O.S.'s waiting in the wings, unless you think someone is going to port Multics to a 8088.
