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.

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)

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.
