MS-DOS - Microsoft Disk Operating System
It was a operating system for IBM PC compatible personal computers in 1980's.
MS - DOS 1.0 was launched in 1982 and has 8 version but alas ceased in 2000 by the company itself.
Today, MS-DOS is rarely used for desktop computing because the release of Windows 95,Windows 95 was integrated as a full product used for bootstrapping and troubleshooting, and no longer released as a standalone product.
But still whenever we need to manage our PC or Computer registry file or to access system directories we use console screen(DOS promt window) and shoot some COMMANDS in it.
So MS-DOS is all about the commands.
