The name of this is really MicroSoft Disc Operating System. At the beginning of the personal computer there was Bill Gates and his partner who developed the "software" to run on the basic computer hardware. In order to "speak" to the computer's (input-output) system there had to be some "commands" to tell it what to do. These commands were typed at a "DOS command prompt" of (C:). The commands were available to print, copy files, view files, edit files etc.
