What was the last version of MS-DOS?
MS-DOS 6.22 was the last stand-alone version of MS-DOS. Some believed that MS-DOS 7.0 was the last version of MS-DOS since Windows 95 reported MS-DOS as MS-DOS 7.0. However, this was just a shell in Windows and not a stand-alone version of MS-DOS.
Where can you download MS-DOS 8?
Technically speaking, there is no MS-DOS 8. MS-DOS 6.22 was the last version of MS-DOS released as a separate product. Future updates to MS-DOS were bundled with Windows. You can create a basic MS-DOS boot disk that is branded as being "MS-DOS 8" by formatting a floppy with the Startup disk option in Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. These are not typically considered "full" versions of MS-DOS, because they lack many of the programs conatined in 6.22 and prior.
