∙ 14y agoWindows is a multitasking operating system that uses GUI to navigate. MS-DOS is a singale tasking operating system that uses a command line interface. The user must remember many commands and have a basic knowledge of programing to run DOS. Windows is much easier to use for the most part. Occasionally the DOS command prompt comes in handy to do things when Windows cannot do a specific task.

Dos did support ethernet networking with the Microsoft network client. The Digital Network integration package supported file service (network file sharing) and printer sharing as early as MS-DOS 3.1.

Which operating system are DOS applications more likely to work under Winodws 2000 or Windows XP?
Both Windows XP and Windows 2000 are variants of the Windows NT operating system which has no native DOS running "under the hood". Windows XP has better compatibility support for most legacy applications in general, however. A better option is to use a DOS virtual machine to run your legacy DOS applications, as almost all DOS functionality will be replicated in the virtual machine. The downside to this approach is performance of the DOS application, which in the case of games, can be significantly degraded. An example of an excellent DOS virtual machine is DOSBox. It is free and has much wider support for legacy DOS applications than does any modern Windows Operating System
