China DOS Union

In fact, I think that as a standalone operating system, DOS is not a supplement to anything. It's just that many people are not willing to remember those cumbersome commands. If there are easy-to-use interfaces and software support, it can completely replace Windows.

It's not that DOS itself can replace Windows, but because Win3.x/9x were originally interface enhancement programs under DOS. So if there are other equal or better interface enhancement programs under DOS, it's not impossible for them to replace Win3.x/9x.

I am a student who has been in contact with WINDOWS for two years. In the past, I only knew some simple DOS commands. Recently, because of the need for study, I just got in touch with DOS and found that learning DOS is also very interesting. I have now installed two operating systems, one DOS and one WINDOWS XP, which is OEM. But to be honest, among current students, almost no one studies DOS. Many students think that DOS has long been outdated. I am studying computer science. In my class, even many people don't know how to use FDISK. I don't know if this is very sad.

Hehe

There are also very few classmates in our class who study DOS. And we are even in the computer science major.

Hehe! This is just like the students in Taiwan. The most pitiful thing is that they don't even know how to change directories under DOS, yet they claim the computer is powerful!! I've met such people. What do you think, is it not pitiful??

This just reflects the backwardness of our country... Alas...

Many people just learn to use some software and think they are experts. I have studied for a whole three years and still feel that I am very mediocre.
Indeed, knowledge is infinite.

I disagree with the above view. Just because you run a "New DOS Era," you absolutely exaggerate the role of DOS. Can the development of DOS applications be faster than that of Windows applications? Aren't all software developed from DOS versions to Windows versions? Moreover, in the process of operating system development, DOS will gradually disappear naturally. It's just that Windows itself is not perfect, so it still can't do without DOS at the current stage, but the DOS of Win9x is completely different from the early DOS. We can't deny that DOS is small and flexible, but compared with the powerful Windows, it's far behind. I don't believe you all use DOS and DOS applications all day long.

Of course, DOS has its unique role now. The software under DOS is very convenient for editing small control programs and plays a great role in industrial control, so it is necessary to understand and master the DOS system, but it can't be said to be promoted and developed.

I think DOS is really having a hard time these days, especially in China. If it weren't for doing some embedded stuff now, I probably wouldn't pick up DOS again. You know, it was really hard to switch to WIN back then. But I still thank the forum moderators. You've done a very tough job. In many people's eyes, it's also a thankless task, and even blocking the wheel of history. I think Linux does a good job in promotion and user division. Actually, the Chinese engineering community still uses DOS. Just ask around, specialized operating systems are too expensive.

DOS must be easier to use than the command line interface of Linux. X-Window and WIN under DOS are both GUI programs. You can also port X-Win to DOS, like E/OS LX does.

The most headache for engineering personnel is developing hardware driver programs under WIN or Linux. It's really troublesome and hard to understand. Under DOS, it's much simpler. You can do whatever you want. In fact, the gap of DOS is in the GUI. I think DOS still has supreme status in the hardware engineering field. Please, esteemed experts, give guidance when you have time.

What you said upstairs, it seems that under DOS you don't need hardware drivers?

It's really strange. The drivers under DOS are also very troublesome. Think about the current computer departments, hey, many are rubbish. Can't learn anything.

Learning DOS is really tiring! But since development requires it, I have to learn it! I still hope to learn it well because it has so many uses!

Technically, underlying, close to hardware

Command-line form

Operations are not simple...

Some people hate it, which is understandable...
