They say that DOS is dead.    "long live the DOS operating system, and the programs that go with it"!
"Vista is now DOS-free", they say.

 DOS programs can  run under windows, the "exe" can be executed under windows so that one might *think* that a Dos program is really a window program, as it runs.

The old operating system of the 386 and 486 computers, plus many other ancient computers.

Some still think DOS is better for games.

Maybe the last DOS game went off the shelves around 2000, but even now there might be a few shovelware compilation cds with a DOS game on them!

Afew years ago, I noted that some of the utilites and mod-installers for Baldur's gate, Oblivion, morrowind, were written in Visual Basic [DOS] so that when executed, that familiar black screen with the white print, appears on the desktop, while thew program is installing.

Just now I downloaded and installed the 1.02a patch for Dragon.
Guess what?!
a DOS installer!!

DOS Lives!
Even with my Vista in 2010, I just used a DOS program.

you never seen the actual dos i assume, vista and win7 are actually dos free.

console and the DOS is not same thing. You can't run 16bit dos exacutables on vista/win7.
the one you run on your pc wont run on dos either. It may even require .net framework redistrubitables to run.

edit: also 386 is the current processor architecture that most 32bit software are based on.
