Yes, and I still have copies of 3.3, 5.0, and 6.22. No idea why, as I haven't had a need in 20 years, but I used DOS for years before Win 3.0 made Windows practical, and DOS was still necessary until Windows 95. I actually went to the Win95 launch event in San Francisco.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I grew up with MS-DOS. It's still the basic format used in the Windows Command (cmd) window. It's still interesting that there are some things you can only do via typed command in the command window.

[whirled_up_girl]

I used to back when I was like a teenager or something, my parents had a computer that still used MS-DOS but over the years I've forgotten how.

[Curiosity2006]

I know how to DDoS, does that help? XDDD

Ooops! Please Don't report this!

[Aerissa_Jade]

If it is anything like windows command prompt, then yes I do. I know how to use it and even write some simple batch files.

I have used DOS BOX some too, mostly to see how MS DOS was the fastest freaking OS system that ever existed... lol, some old guy told me that I should check it out. Nothing was ever faster than DOS, windows has always gotten slower and slower.

Now do I have a use for it, or know how to use it very good.

Nope.

[John1972]

I'm very familiar with using it. From time to time I get out my first Pc and mess around on it. I've got a Commodore C-64 which runs off the MOS 6510.

[jshm2]

It was Powershell... without the power.

I still some across warehouses and firms that use MSDOS era machines for mission critical work.

[genericname85]

unfortunately, i'm old enough to know how to navigate MS-DOS xD i don't have any extensive experience but i know how to browse and manage files and start programmes cause that's what i've grown up with.

[FunkyMonkee]

I know some of it but, it's been a while since I've used it so, I might be a bit rusty. I pretty much taught myself the first time so, I can probably do it again.

[erandal]

Yes. I was programming in DOS since the early 1980’s.

[dustybiker]

Yes. Locked away in the vaults of my noggin’.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Before Windows & Apple, I had to learn DOS first.

[FreyaRed]

Yes, we had that in school. I think format C: as admin works even with windows 11

[tfan1]

C:\ cd windows

C:\WINDOWS

C:\WINDOWS win. exe

[Whatthefluff]

I don't even know what that is

[llorando]

It's a Microsoft operating system computers in the 80s used. No GUI or mouse, programs were launched with keyboard and command prompts.

[TroyDT2]

A little, but not an expert.

[Anonymous]

Who's Ms. DOS? Is that like the woman version of the Dos Equis guy?

[Pudsmucker]

I used to do binary and basic, then came Fortran

[Pudsmucker]
