Solve : windows 7 queston? |
|
Answer» im doing this for a report on current events for a class and i cant find this queston abut windows 7 (my ARTICLE on current evets is on windows 7) i need to know, is windows 7 backboned by dos(meaning does windows still use dos for there newest os, windows 7)? I thought ME still had a DOS shell underneath? It was W 2000 and up that ran NT based, was it not? True. So Patio's statement was a bit inaccurate. Regardless- Windows NT 3.1,3.5,3.51,4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 are all based on the NT core which abandoned DOS code long ago... (Win NT 3.1 1992). The fact that a properly constructed google search (IE: without spelling errors) would bring this up KIND of deflates the "I could not really find that info" argument. I short... it's a stupid question. Oh wait a second... there are no stupid questions....WinME in fact was the first so called "hybrid" of a DOS backbone in that it was the experimental phase of the command prompt gist of the Windows experiment and an effectively crippled version of DOS 6.2. Although all features of the old version of DOS were CARRIED over some were compromised in the fact that they would run from the command prompt INSIDE Windows but not in full DOS mode... This was the beginning of the end so to speak. You could however cancel out these shortcomings if you installed DOS 6.2 first then WinME...then everything worked as it should. They actually had the nerve to label it as DOS 7.0 which really only existed as vaporware. Thanx for the trip down memory lane Quote Thanx for the trip down memory lane Welcome |
