MS-DOS ended with Windows NT. It used file command.com to interpret all DOS commands. Win 2000, XP, Vista use a DOS Shell which emulates DOS but is not really DOS.
MS DOS is a textual Operating System first used in early PC's of the 1980s - MS stands for MicroSoft, DOS stands for Disk Operating System. Windows 98 runs on top of DOS and it uses graphics. Current operating systems like XP and Vista are operating systems running by themselves without DOS.
MS-DOS 6.22 was the last stand-alone version of MS-DOS. Some believed that MS-DOS 7.0 was the last version of MS-DOS since Windows 95 reported MS-DOS as MS-DOS 7.0. However, this was just a shell in Windows and not a stand-alone version of MS-DOS.
MS-DOS was not designed for networking, and doses not come with any tools to do so by default.
MS DOS is an acronym for Microsoft Disk Operating System. MS Office is an acronym for Microsoft Office which is a word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation application.
MS-DOS is tied architecturally to IBM PC-compatibles and x86 processors. LUnix is a Unix-like operating system for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128, though it could be ported to other 6502 processors. MS-DOS was first released in 1982. LUnix was first released in 1993. MS-DOS is closed-source. LUnix is open-source, available under the terms of the GPL. MS-DOS was created by Microsoft. LUnix was created by volunteers around the world.
msdos is text based; it is a command line xp is graphic oriented; it has pictures and graphics
This is quite complicated; Microsoft developed PC-DOS for IBM in 1981 and shortly afterwards started selling MS-DOS - which was a different product - to other companies. However, as time passed "IBM PC Compatibility" became an important selling point and in 1987 MS-DOS and PC-DOS were essentially the same product.
There is no specific file extension for MS-DOS. Files can have any 3 character extension in MS-DOS.
