Is MS-DOS Dead?
No. Though Microsoft may not be actively developing MS-DOS there are still many computers that are not capable of running Microsoft Windows. The current versions of Microsoft Windows will also run most MS-DOS programs; therefore, MS-DOS is not dead, and will most- likely never die just as Commodore-64s and Amigas have not completely died. Indeed, DOS has found a new life in embedded systems. Other parties continue to develop MS-DOS compatible operating systems. Windows NT, 2000, and XP all have a "Command Prompt" which is similar to the orignal MS-DOS command prompt.
