Who still uses DOS?

The surprising thing would be if the younger people use it. I can understand if the old timers use it from their DOS - Win98 days.

I fear it will be lost on the new users that are starting out with Vista...

 

all my computer games run through dos. i love it.

 

Like Pong and Tetris?

 

Linux Console is hell better! I use it many times a day

 

Yea... I use DOS for my Windows ... and people use DOS ( Denial of Service) for my site

 

Ms dos is necessary for system rescue in xp

when you can't reboot or edit boot .... or delete some difficult files or using some IP commands
it's necessary believe me

 

I also use DOS to run some very old programs that i have...

 

I've never used DOS in my life..wayy before my time lol.

 

Not anymore unless really required...

 

16-bit DOS and Windows are still with us

 

Technically you guys mostly aren't talking about DOS, but the command prompt. I use command prompt/bash it a fair bit on bother windows and linux cause there are a lot of instances where its quicker to configure something via command line than go through endless amounts of GUI to get to a checkbox.

 

if dos is command prompt than i use it

 

probably less than .001 % of the time

 

I rarely use DOS but i do use the CLI when i want to compile an application manually.

 

Looks like most people use it to troubleshoot. I'm a system administrator and use it quite often.

 

I never use DOS on Windows, but use the command line in Linux almost every day.

 

I like DOs very much and I was expert in it some 4-5 years ago... Now almost forgot... Only remember format, dir, cd.. and some few commands.... The format command is very simple thing when we need to format the disk.....

 

I often use DOS. DOS is still the operating system and still use to boot the system of our computer. It is needed when there is a problem with your computer.

 

I find it to be soo much faster to cd to a directory & findstr somthing than it is to use any of the UI methods involving indexing or anything.

I started when 98 was in 2000s shoes & 95 was somthing dads swore by. These days I like to start my paths with a forward slash.

That's like worrying whether the dishwashers on the Titanic would have had opportunity for advancement, isn't it ?

 

I still use DOS every once in a while to convert CAD files. Once you do it a few times its easy.
