China DOS Union

What everyone said upstairs seems to make sense. I'm a beginner, just saying my own opinion. Now, everyone really likes the graphical interface, which is easy to operate and can be done with a few clicks. No matter how long the folder name is, double-clicking can handle it. DOS can't do that, and there are no entertainment software available. Can you use QQ under DOS? At least I haven't seen it. No one makes software supporting DOS, and there's no further development of DOS. Now, at least I think everyone is continuing the previous DOS. DOS should be like Final Fantasy, and each appearance should be a revolution. Then DOS can be like the phoenix, getting eternal life in the fire.

Maybe everyone has a problem with the definition of DOS. Let's first clarify it. Personally, I think the definition of DOS is as follows:

A disk operating system that runs on IBM PC and its compatible machines, based on the Intel 80X86 real mode, single-task, single-user!

If everyone agrees with the above definition, then in the future competition with various operating systems, DOS is bound not to become the mainstream!

Single-task makes its efficiency low:

Real mode will never exceed 1MB of memory;

But on the other hand, because it works in real mode, its system configuration requirements are low but the running speed is very fast, which makes it more suitable as an embedded system and also suitable for some real-time systems. But in this regard, its advantages are not obvious compared with LINUX and JAVA, but there are still some applications, and it is estimated that it will be replaced by LINUX and JAVA soon!

I think the vitality of DOS lies in the fact that it is a system completely transparent to programmers (here, completely transparent means that it hardly wraps any underlying information!). Compared with WINDOWS, LINUX, etc., it has an advantage that it can be a good platform for programmers (of course, referring to low-level programmers) to carry out low-level development and low-level experiments!

As programmers, we should cherish the DOS operating system as we cherish LINUX, because in the future it will only belong to programmers, not the public!

I quite agree with the view of this brother CEO. This is the national condition. This national condition makes most Chinese people feel helpless and lost. I saw on Blog China that the national condition of China is so令人emotional, especially in the comparison with the software industry of neighboring India. In foreign countries, people's level of using DOS is dozens of times that of ours. And in China, DOS is only limited to several common commands. I still remember that Sina was paralyzed by the ping command, which makes me feel this is an out-and-out joke, a joke that makes Chinese people unable to laugh.

Strive for self-improvement!

To catch up with people in other places (I don't want to use the word "country", it's too political), we must first work hard to achieve results, so that we can be on an equal footing with others. If we can also make some achievements under the rules set by others, how great it would be!

For this joke, the best way is to let more people get rid of the ranks of being laughed at!

DOS will never keep up with the times, because it itself determines its fate.

DOS will never keep up with the times because it itself determines its own fate.

But I think this depends on everyone's preferences. Many people like DOS, but not necessarily the underlying and principle stuff. After all, these are not very popular. Forcing it down people's throats will make many people completely lose interest in DOS. Therefore, division of labor is the best. Some people do the underlying and principle stuff, and others do various other practical operations under DOS. After all, the latter is for the general public.

DOS is too low - level, directly operating with hardware. I think I'd better study electrical engineering.
