    Unix was developed in 1969. MS-DOS (from where Windows inherits its baggage) was developed in 1981. And DOS was basically a clone of CP/M developed in 1974.

    So I dont see why windows would be designed with line printers in mind when its younger than unix. Its even more strange because CP/M and DOS were “microcomputer” OS and unlikely to ever operate a teletyper, while unix was primarily a mainframe OS that certainly would be operating a teletyper.

    Then you have MacOs being a weirdo and just using CR.
