What made GUI different from the DOS operating system?
DOS is fully command based operating system. we do every job in Dos by typing commands instead by using mouse clicks like todays computers. This is because of Using GUI (Graphic user interface). GUI make computers user friendly As MS DOS is completely CLI (command line interface) based operating system hence it does not incorporate a GUI (graphical user interface) natively. This is the main difference.
Is the user interface a part of the operating system?
This answer depends on how technical your answer needs to be. The user interface ships with the operating system, so the average computer user might consider the user interface to be a part of the system. If you care to get technical, however, the user interface is not part of the operating system.On all versions of Windows since at least 3.1, the graphical user interface is a module that runs atop the kernel, and is not actually part of the operating system. In fact, it can be swapped out for a different user interface, and the operating system will still run.Similarly, you can remove the user interface, and the system will still operate (this is how some servers are configured; not loading a graphical interface can reduce memory and processor usage). Contrast this to a driver; if you remove a driver, the system will not run that hardware, thus, an installed driver becomes part of the operating system.Technically, anything that runs in "ring level 0" on an Intel-based processor is part of the operating system, and everything else is not. If the user interface were in ring level 0, programs would be running with kernel permissions, and could thus take over the system without difficulty, since they would already be "in the kernel."The user interface is not trusted, and so runs outside the kernel to allow the system to be more reliable.
Is DOS a graphical operating system?

What do you mean GUI?
GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. It is a programming technique that allows the user to visually interpret commanding the program driving the GUI. All versions of Windows are GUIs. Computer games are GUIs. This is opposed to text based user interfaces. DOS (Disk Operating System) was the first operating system for the AT style desktop computer. It presented itself to the user with a ">" prompt on the command line. The user typed in a DOS command and told the computer to execute the command by hitting the "Enter" key. The computer responded to the command with lines of ASCII text on the display. LINUX is a text based operating system. There are several different GUI layers that run on top of a LINUX based operating system.
What does the abbreviation CUI stand for?
Character-based User Interface
What is the difference between an operating system with a text-based user interface and GUI-based operating system?
A Text Based OS is a OS like MSdos just plain old text and commands But Now Newer Operating Systems Came Out. A GUI OS is like mac, Windows 7, But Boots With a little help from MSdos. You can still download linux text based OSs But It is mosty meant for servers.
Why were the old computers so difficult to use?
"Old Computers" where a textual-based Operating System. In early versions of computers it was required to learn an Operating System language (DOS, UNIX, etc.) There were no GUI (Graphical User Interface) to point and click at. You needed to learn directory mapping, parameters, functions, and this was all based off of memorization and you had to learn an Operating System before you became a user.
