I hate to burst your bubble, but DOS was not the first OS. In fact, the original DOS had a lot of Unix code in it, I forget what percentage.Originally Posted by no-one

Hehe...bye bye baby!
To be fair...if the forums were people, the dos board had a grey beard down to it's ankles and spent most of it's time waving a stick in the air...definately time to bow out gracefully.
Now if we could get the Linux board shut this place would really be cosy...JK!!!

And to think I used to be a DOS cruasader with doubleanti and yet now I have a very direct part in getting it removed.
To be fair, DOS was great in the day. Let's face it...if it were not for DOS our games, our apps, our comps would simply not be where they are today. It's not that we are shunning DOS or demeaning it...we are retiring it. There is a difference. It deserves our respect for it ruled the PC world for quite some time and it did what it was designed to do. Unfortunately times have changed and single-task operating systems are not what we need. So I for one salute DOS and all it did for the computer world and for skyrocketing us into the next generation of OS's, games, apps, and whatever is to come.
So...DOS has retired and taken its rightful place in PC history...but it has not been forgotten. It did play a vital role in PC history and evolution.
Yes, I agree. A dos specific question could always be viewed as windows question(that is specific to the window's platform) or a C/C++ question.
