True, the absolutley first versions were entirely unusable. Glacial is what one of the authors said.
First version of Unix had a 512k disk pack, and no shell -- that 80k binary for shell would have been a dream.
"20 years later we had 64 KB to fit an whole OS and applications on home computers." is quite the claim when we are talking about Unix, Lisp or Smalltalk and comparing them to CP/M with DOS which .. does nothing in comparison, and ignoring literally all other aspects of a computer system.
