    Technically, everyone uses some terminal command input - it just usually has a RAM hoarding GUI slapped on top of it. (COUGH, windows...)

    DOS is not the base of Windows since XP onwards. Although perhaps I should follow suit and get it running in vmware for old times sake.

    Yea, I remember when Win95 came out. I was just a kid back then, but now that I am young adult... my choice would be XP any day over DOS. However, I am taking 2 programing classes at a upper level college that requires me to use DOS. So to answer your question... yes I do use DOS, but only for academic purpose.

    I worked on Vista in the beta stage, but don't plan to upgrade. It ate up my system resources too much. I agree, Vista users probably don't even know what DOS is. LOL!!!

    Yes I do, I accidentally selected No, but I use it a lot when using certain features on Windows 2000 Server Edition. We also have to use at University.

    Also if I wanted to be cocky I could say most people use it, that is if you use 95/98/ME/2000/XP/etc :p.

    I still use DOS to check my available space and to repair hardrive problems resulting from improperly shutting down the computer.
