Difference between MS-DOS and Window XP Memory Management?
DOS Memory Management: Under MS-DOS, device driver and TSR modules can take up large amounts of conventional memory. A memory manager can move some of these into upper memory blocks or the High Memory Area, freeing up conventional&memory and creating a larger TPA. Memory managers also control access to extended memory, allowing it to be accessed via XMS, or as expanded memory via EMS. Popular DOS memory mangers include EMM386 and QEMM.
Windows Memory Management: Memory management in Microsoft Windows operating systems has evolved into a rich and sophisticated architecture, capable of scaling from the tiny embedded platforms (where Windows executes from ROM) all the way up to the multi-terabyte NUMA configurations, taking full advantage of all capabilities of existing and future hardware designs. With each release of Windows, memory management supports many new features and capabilities. Advances in algorithms and techniques yield a rich and sophisticated code base, which is maintained as a single code base for all platforms and SKUs. Memory management improvements in Windows Vista focused on areas such as dynamic system address space, enhanced NUMA and large system/page support, advanced video model support, I/O and section access, and robustness and diagnosability.

What is basic bare machine in operating system?
Basic Machine, in computer parlance, means a computer without its operating system. Modern operating systems evolved through various stages, from elementary to the present day complex, highly sensitive real-time systems. In the very first stage of computing there was nothing like an Operating System at all. Programs were fed to the computer system directly using machine language by the programmers without any system software support. This approach is termed the "Bare Machine" approach in the development of operating systems.
Why ms dos is called command line interface?
Because it does not supports GUI and we can only work on CLI in DOS..
What does volume label mean in command prompt?

Will DOS programs run on modern laptops?
Yes, although there are various technical limitations that may come into play. For instance, not all DOS applications will run properly in a Command Prompt on Windows. The Command Prompt in Windows Vista and Windows 7, for instance, can only run text-mode DOS applications. 64-bit versions cannot run DOS applications at all. The best workaround is to use DOSBox, a DOS emulator, to run any applications that will not run in the Command Prompt.
As for "native" installations, it is still possible to install and run MS-DOS and applications on modern computers, although changes may need to be made in the BIOS to enable hard drive access, and modern sound cards are incompatible with virtually all DOS programs.
