I'm assuming you are asking about Windows Vista Features. There is an extensive and thorough discussion on this issue at the "bleeping computer" website, which begins with the following statements: "A Windows Vista feature is simply a set of programs or a particular capability of the operating system that can be enabled or disabled by an administrator. It is important to note that in Windows Vista, when you remove or disable a feature, you are not actually removing files from your hard drive, but rather just deactivating them. Therefore disabling a feature should not be used as a method of freeing up hard drive space. On the other hand, by disabling a feature you may gain an increase in performance due to memory and processor utilization no longer being allocated towards the particular feature." For the full explanation, go to this link: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial134.html

CorelDraw is a vector graphics editing and creation tool.

MS Office is a suite of software for office productivity: Word (word processing) Excel (spreadsheet calculations) PowerPoint (presentation) etc...

There's Windows 95 and everything that came before it (including at least Windows 3.x and probably Windows 2.x). Windows 98 still seems like it's running on DOS, but it's a little different.

The answer that you are looking for is on page 271 of the Operating Systems Book;

MS-DOS is command driven.

You can create quotations by creating voucher types.

No. Windows XP has it's own kernel and memory management system.

• In DOS, 8 characters.
• In Windows, 254 characters.

DIR is used to list the contents of a directory.

windows PE is a vast improvement over ms-dos because it includes internal support for TCP/IP networking stack and is capable of functioning as a windows file sharing client.

Generally, MS-DOS boots starting with the first available floppy drive. Then it checks the hard drive and then any additional hard drives if they are properly registered in the CMOS. Then it eventually checks any optical drives. But this all depends on the exact BIOS and the CMOS settings. With some BIOSes, you can disable the floppy boot or make it try the floppies after the hard drive.

MS-DOS has few practical advantages these days. However, it is relatively small in size, and is universally compatible with all PCs (since it was designed to run on the very first one). It starts up fairly quickly on most hardware, uses little memory, and allows direct access to hardware, unlike most protected mode operating systems today.

DOS still exists because some of the very old but still useful products only run with DOS so it would be silly to destroy it. The way that I understand it DOS still exists because of how memory still is allowcated with the "infamous" 640K barrier. Despite the amount of memory computers have, up to Windows XP memory was still based on the same structure that was in the first PC which had a mb of ram. A lot of log jams in memory occur while the programs are trying to page through this small section of memory. Another reason is to allow 16 bit programs, in particular, to run under Windows OSes though XP.

I do not know if this structure persists in Windows-64 (64 bit Windows) or Windows Vista. It was my understanding that the next version of OS was going to eliminate both the backward compatibility and 640K barrier.

The safest way to shut down a computer is to use the operating system to properly shut it down. If you use Windows OS then you would go to your start button, click it, and go into <Shut Down>. For there you can choose Shut Down, Restart, Etc. These methods will save any data that you have not saved yet, close programs that are open, and properly shut the computer down.

You can run "dir /?" command.

PrinceSanty: In the FAT32 File System Microsoft MS-DOS versions 4.0 and later allow FDISK to partition hard disks up to 4 gigabytes (GB) in size. However, the MS-DOS file allocation table (FAT) file system can support only 2 GB per partition.

if you want to fromat a hard drive for windowsXP then read this...

you will need your winXP cd

This a fast trick to get you computer in DOS mode. Power off your computer then power it back on, while your computer is turning on keep pressing F8 repeatedly until you computer prompts you how you want to run. Some of your options will be run in safe mode, run in safe mode with networking, but you will select run in DOS mode. Once your in your DOS mode then you are ready to go!

Windows has a graphical interface while DOS is a command line interface.

none of these

*An operting system manages hardware, runs applications, provides an interface for users, and stores, retrieves, and manipulates files.

*It manages the hardware and software resources of the system.

*It provides a stable, consistent way for applications to deal with the hardware without having to know all the details of the hardware.

*System tool (programs) used to monitor computer performance,debug,problems, or maintain parts of the system.

*A set of libraries or functions which may use to perform specific tasks especially relating to interfacing with computer system components.

Yes and no. If you have the hardware resources to run UNIX/Linux then you should. DOSBox can run any DOS program in UNIX, so there is no need for DOS if you can run UNIX. However, if you have an older computer or an embedded system where UNIX or Linux would have too much overhead, DOS is a better choice.

* DOS is a CUI based OS.so, it is not dominant.

we have to remember alots of commands to executes a simple task.

we have to remember every path of each file and with each extension.

* DOS is no longer dominant because it does not provide multi-tasking.

* Because it does not provide maximize and minimize function.

* It has black screen.

* It is not reliable.

* It is time consuming.

* It is no longer dominant because many people find DOS very hard to use; you needed to type very long and confusing bunches.
