'MS'

It's clearly made for SJWs and feminists as it's called "MS dos"

>>60388940

Using \ for directories instead of /.

No thanks.

Shit graphics. Both low colour support and low resolution. Gimped console (no interpretted basic). No support for multi processes or threads. That's just off the top of my head.

eww

>>60388940

I real feel old, I mostly use Dos for playing games and writing some short stories until they had released Win 95.

Have you tried using a CD-ROM driver on MS-DOS? I attempted that a year ago. Took me an hour and didn't even work in the end.

"Not enough extended memory"

>>60389013
literally this.

What the actual h*ck were they thinking on this?

it's barely an operating system

it's one of its strengths and one of its flaws at the same time

It's not CP/M

>>60389688
before directories and paths were supported command line arguments were done with /, like cmd /?
so, to make programs not confuse paths with arguments they decided to use \ for paths.

>>60389688
I think it's a legacy thing, / were reserved for command switches so they chose \ instead

>>60388940
im sure this system wasn't even created by microsoft
they took the os from someone else and re-licenced it

>>60388940
Non-portable proprietary software.

>>60389688
Early versions of DOS (as well as CP/M which it was based on) were designed to be used only with floppy disks, which weren't really big enough to justify the use of subdirectories. So for some reason they decided to use the slash to indicate command-line switches, which meant when directories were added later on they had to find a different symbol. Not sure why they didn't just go with the established Unix convention in the first place though.

I prefere FreeDos.

"it's" can be possessive and a contraction.

LOL, go back to your C128.

MS wanted / for directory and - for switch but IBM vetoed it. Thanks IBM.

No, the genitive case is “its”, without the apostrophe.

>>60388940
A 16b real-mode OS is not so much an OS as a standard library for file access and a text based directory navigation shell.

It's slowly dying though, because people either are not educated enough to know this quirk, or just don't care. Similarly, the usage of the hyphen is dying out as we speak, and not only in English, but in may other languages too (reasons being similar, ignorance and carelessness being the primary ones).
