China DOS Union

Different people have different views. Learning

Yes, I now type ls in the following directories under DOS.

The above post mentions vinegar, soy sauce, chili peppers, pepper powder, wine, oil, salt, sugar... After reading it, the taste of anything no longer has a sense of freshness.

Also say a few points of view:

DOS is DOS, don't turn it into Linux. DOS is formed by history. Since it exists, it has its reasons for existence. In the past, DOS ruled the roost, but now it's not as glorious as before. How to view this problem? History is always evolving. Microsoft doesn't want the shadow of history to hang over it, so that it can't act arbitrarily, so there is a subjective desire to gradually destroy history. It wants to eliminate DOS, then eliminate win9x, then eliminate NT, 2000 and XP, this is what Microsoft must do. In such a context, DOS will definitely be affected.

However, open source has changed the pattern of this struggle, making it impossible for Microsoft to arbitrarily hold the power of life and death over others. Microsoft has tasted the sweetness from the huge volume of windows, that is, by creating an extremely complex system, it can effectively prevent the threats that followers may bring. From windows 3.x to 95 to 98 to 2000 to XP, and then to vista, its volume has gradually increased and complexity has increased day by day. Coupled with many incompatibility measures, it makes you have to believe that Microsoft is actually doing this to get rid of the imitation and tracking of others. The more mysterious and complex Microsoft builds its system, the more secure it feels for itself. However, the open source world has dealt a heavy blow to Microsoft: you Microsoft deliberately construct a behemoth, I open source can be compact and have the same functions as you. Although in the short term, Microsoft can still resist for a while凭借 historical advantages, in the long run, Microsoft is finished. The complex and incompatible system it constructs will only ruin itself. Those powerful developers will not follow Microsoft's such tossing, and such tossing is also meaningless. This is an important reason why people are flocking to the Linux camp (some people also turn to ReactOS, and this project is also progressing rapidly).

In the above discussions, everyone is filled with a sense of awe of Microsoft. This is a bad mentality. If we underestimate Microsoft too much, some people may say we "daydream" and say we "envy" Microsoft's wealth and technical strength (of course, the views of these people themselves are also a bad mentality, which doesn't need to be discussed in detail). However, if we look at Microsoft with admiration, is this normal?

Don't be自卑. You are the master, not a slave. If others force something on you, you should have the courage not to take it. DOS is very good. I once suggested setting up a DOS kernel development group on this site. The advantages of DOS can be said to be no joke. I even believe that one day, Linux and DOS will achieve some form of unification. Starting from scratch, starting from me, this is the course of Linux development. Why can't DOS be like this? Why do we feel that we are not as good as Windows or Linux? Why not the other way around: Linux and Windows are both not as good as DOS?

I think that carrying out a DOS kernel project with good compatibility, and then doing GUI development, for example, integrating with ReactOS (or absorbing ReactOS into DOS), its development prospects are limitless!

The goal of ReactOS is the NT kernel, and it's difficult to integrate with DOS...

How to say that win3.x and win9x are programs on DOS? Then isn't winnt a program on ntloader? Linux is like a program on grub, lilo, and further, DOS, Windows, Linux are all programs under MBR, and further all are programs under BIOS...

It's correct to say that Windows is a program on DOS. It was originally just an application software under DOS.

DOS is at most a bootloader for Win9x. You can use DOS to run grub4dos to boot operating systems like Linux. Does that mean Linux has also become an application on DOS?

After DOS jumps to Win9x, the operation of Win9x has nothing to do with DOS. Win9x completely controls all resources of the computer, independently manages software and hardware, and has nothing to do with DOS. It is just like how grub/lilo or other bootloaders load Linux.

It is suggested that the person upstairs study DOS more.

It is suggested that the person upstairs not casually give suggestions.

DOS and Linux are both free software. To not hinder the development of free software, they should be unified as soon as possible, improve or discard the bad aspects, and keep the good ones.

I think the best way is to reimplement Windows 3.11 on FreeDOS

There is no corresponding common English translation for "有见第" in this context. It might be a very specific or perhaps misspelled/non-standard term within the particular forum context. If it's a unique phrase specific to the China DOS Union forum, and without more context to accurately determine its meaning, it's difficult to provide a proper translation. But based on the requirements, I have to present what I can. Maybe it's a typo or something else. For now, just note that "有见第" can't be accurately translated in a general sense without more info. If it's supposed to be something else, please check the original input again.

Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let me start over. The original text is "有见第", and I need to just output the translation attempt. Since it's not a standard term, perhaps it's a name or a specific phrase. But as per the rules, I have to provide the translated text. So I think I'll just state that there's no standard translation for this term in this context for now. But maybe I should just return it as is if it's not translatable. Wait, no. The instruction says to translate Chinese to English. If it can't be translated, how? Oh, maybe I was wrong. Let me try again. "有见第" - maybe it's a miswriting. But I have to output the translation. So I think I'll just say that there's no translation available for "有见第" in this case. But that's not right. Wait, maybe I should just put it as "You Jian Di" but that's just transliterating. But the requirement is to translate technically accurately. Hmm. I think I made a mistake in understanding the input. Let me start over. The user wrote "有见第", so I need to translate it. Since it's Chinese characters, I'll transliterate it as "You Jian Di". But is that correct? Maybe. Because when there's no standard translation, transliteration is the way to go. So the translated text is "You Jian Di".

1. DOS is just DOS. Why make it look like Unix?
2. Why must it be multi - user and multi - tasking? Can't it be single - user and multi - tasking?
3. It's simple and convenient to use letters to represent partitions. Is there a need to have more than 23 partitions?

DOS has its ease of use and universality. Why go to the trouble to transform it into Linux? No matter how similar it looks, the functions won't surpass Linux. Just as Linux has been transformed so much and hasn't become Windows, give it up. As the saying goes, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses

I don't have a particularly strong dependence on DOS, but I have a strong sense of familiarity. When I first played with UNIX, I often tried typing DOS commands. Conversely, I often inadvertently typed Linux commands on DOS. Occasionally, I also foolishly typed some batch files under Linux. But they are indeed different. The tasks are different. For now, unless it's under Windows, I think Linux is much more convenient than DOS. I really hope that those with lofty ideals can well develop and expand and strengthen the functions of DOS, so that we can get the same convenience as Linux under Windows
