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.

Why is windows pe a better installation environment for windows 7 than ms dos?
Windows PE is essentially a stripped down version of the operating system to be installed. Like Windows 7 and unlike MS-DOS, it is capable of being run on computers that don't have a legacy BIOS, such as those using EFI.
What is the last version of MS-DOS?
The latest that existed by itself was MS-DOS 6.22. For a while, however, Windows was partially integrated with DOS, so these MS-DOS versions could be extracted. Windows 95 revision 1 identified as MS-DOS 7; Win 95 rev 2 and Win 98 were MS-DOS 7.1 (which had support for the FAT32 file system), and Windows ME had MS-DOS 8. You can extract the DOS from Win 9x (not ME) by modifying the file MSDOS.SYS, changing the line saying "bootgui=1" to "bootgui=0" and setting the config.sys SHELL statement to the command.com that came with Windows. Someone has done this and packaged it; google "MS-DOS 7.10" and you will find it.Also, any time you format a disk in Windows newer than ME, you get the option to make a MS-DOS startup disk. This is MS-DOS 8. By making such a disk and using the utilities from MS-DOS 6.22, you can have a working MS-DOS 8. The VER command will still report the Windows version you used.MS-DOS 1.xVersion 1.0 (Retail) - August 1981Version 1.1 (Retail)Version 1.12 (Retail)Version 1.25 (Retail) - August 1982MS-DOS 2.xVersion 2.0 (Retail) - March 1983Version 2.1 (Retail)Version 2.11 (Retail)Version 2.2 (Retail)Version 2.21 (Retail)MS-DOS 3.xVersion 3.0 (Retail) - For IBM PC ATVersion 3.1 (Retail) - For NetworksVersion 3.2 (Retail) - April 1986Version 3.21 (Retail) - April 1987Version 3.25 (Retail)Version 3.3 (Retail)Version 3.3a (Retail)Version 3.3r (Retail)Version 3.31 (Retail)Version 3.35 (Retail)MS-DOS 4.xVersion 4.0 (Retail) - July 1988Version 4.01 (Retail) - November 1988MS-DOS 5.xVersion 5.0 (Beta 1) - June 1991Version 5.0 (Retail)Version 5.0a (Retail)MS-DOS 6.xVersion 6.0 (Retail) - August 1993Version 6.1 (Retail)Version 6.2b (RTM)Version 6.2 (Retail) - November 1993Version 6.21 (Retail) - March 1994Version 6.22 (Retail) - April 1994MS-DOS 7.xVersion 7.0 (Beta)Version 7.1 (Retail)

Why is windows 3.11 not true operating system software?
What makes you think Windows 3.i is not an operating system? Actually Windows 3.1 came as two parts, Windows 3.1 and MS DOS. Windows still comes that way! MS DOS is the operating system that runs the computer. Windows 3.1 contains the programs that you used. The operating system and the programs in Windows 7 are made separately, you simply do not realize that when you use the program.
Is Doom compatible with Windows 7?
The original Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth and The Ultimate Doom do not run on Windows 7, due to incomplete MS-DOS support, and the total lack of a 16-bit subsystem on 64-bit versions. Doom 95 will run on Windows 7, but suffers from numerous bugs. Doom 3 will run fine on Windows 7.Note that the original DOS versions of these can be played in DOSBox. There are also ports of the Doom engine to Windows that will allow you to use the original data files from the DOS version, with essentially the same gameplay.
What Windows version had the worst 16-bit support?
I doubt there's any way to really quantify "worst." Windows NT running on non-Intel architectures could only run certain MS-DOS programs under emulation, and 64-bit versions Windows XP/Vista/7 cannot run 16-bit applications at all. 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 7 can run 16-bit Windows applications, but MS-DOS programs are limited to text mode.
