Some uneducated people like to call it the "DOS prompt." Though it resembles DOS, uses similar commands,and can be used to run some DOS applications, it is not technically correct to call it that. It exists in 64-bit Windows as well, where it cannot run anyDOS. The command prompt is designed primarily to run 32-bit Windows console applications.
