DOS
DOS (from Disk Operating System) commonly refers to the family of closely related
operating systems which dominated the
IBM PC compatible market between 1981 and 1995 (or until about 2000, if Windows 9x systems are included):
DR-DOS,
FreeDOS,
MS-DOS,
Novell-DOS,
OpenDOS,
PC-DOS,
PTS-DOS,
ROM-DOS and several others. They are single user, single task systems. MS-DOS from
Microsoft was the most widely used. These operating systems ran on
IBM PC type hardware using the
Intel x86 CPUs or their compatible cousins from other makers. MS-DOS, inspired by
CP/M, is still common today and was the foundation for many of Microsoft's operating systems (from
Windows 1.0 through
Windows Me). MS-DOS was later used as the foundation for their operating systems.
