Yes, both versions of Windows use DOS..

No. You can go to a DOS like prompt and use DOS like commands, however, current versions of Windows are no longer based on DOS.

DOS is a command line based operating system so one had to know all the details about DOS and all of its commands in order to be able to use it. DOS does not have a pretty graphical interface such as what we see in Windows and Mac. With this type of system, one does not need to know the programing language behind it to be able to use it. Instead Windows and Mac Uses a point and click system that works with the graphics on the screen.

No. Windows NT had it's own kernel and bootloader.
1. Based on NT technology instead of DOS 2. It doesn't crash nearly as often.
In short, you don't use it at all, not unless you're specifically writing code for standalone DOS (disk operating system) that are well over 20 years old now. The <dos.h> header is actually a C library header rather than a C++ library header, but it is not actually part of the standard C specification. It is specifically intended for standalone DOS systems, such as MS-DOS, PC-DOS, IBM-DOS and so on. You cannot use it on Windows 95 or later operating systems since all the functionality previously provided by DOS is now provided by Windows itself, so you must include the <windows.h> header instead. And since it is DOS only, it is obviously not portable. You can use it on Windows 3 and earlier systems since Windows 3 is not an operating system in its own right and is entirely reliant upon an underlying DOS system.
