  • I don't think anyone will still use Ms-Dos as the operating system.

    But knowledges from Ms-Dos are still useful, and used everyday.

    The command prompt of your windows is Ms-Dos.

    If you do a run "cmd", you will be entering the Dos mode.

    I use it all the time for commands as ipconfig, ping, tracert etc.

  • Yes, there are still people who use them.

    - Those people who still have old computers/servers. Since compared to Windows, MS-DOS is not a resource hog.

    - Old games compability, old games work best on the OS they are designed for.

    - MS-DOS works for them. It's because if you are resourceful, you can do EVERYTHING you're currently doing in your Windows on DOS.

  • 1) For compatibility with some finance programs I wrote.

    2) for computer diagnosis and repairs.

    also, useful, some versions of Linux e.g. puppyos which run in RAM, and doesn't need to be installed

  • Technicians use it to repair faults in industry (rare though)

    i have dos 5 and a book if you want to buy it, let me know and I put it on eBay for you.

  • Yes.... for too! many things...

    If you believe me, they create BASE files for OS with programs running with DOS. All important program like C++ (not Dev-C++) run on DOS...

  • GWBasic ! LMAO

    I am old !
