I doubt it! Reference, please? Peter Norton never mentioned this.
Gates bought DOS from a software programmer who originally called it QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) and it was meant to be crude knock-up OS with a crude text editor called Edlin and a simple 8.3 naming convention.

However this survived as MS-DOS for umpteen years before it was replaced by Windows which originally ran as a program under MS-DOS.
