it was not up to 1982 standards
DOS development was done on unix; microsoft developers used unix, so microsoft doesn't even agree with you.

The original Microsoft C for the 386 was a Xenix product although the OS/2 1632 cross compiler was certainly around in 1991 when everything was going the way of Windows NT. The original 1991 NT pre-release could even make OS/2 2.0 32bit OMF objects.
