| Jan 4, 2012 at 6:36 | comment | added | user62491 | @gWaldo: Legacy Applications... For example there are lots of ancient SCADA-like systems that only run on DOS. You'd be surprised to learn how many of these lurk in buildings doing things like controlling vents, lights, etc. | |
| Dec 30, 2011 at 14:29 | comment | added | Rob Moir | @TomO'Connor - I agree with your general sentiment but not quite so sure about that particular question, as the asker wishes to exclude third party s/w and/or tools from the Denial-of-service discussion. Not saying there's anything wrong with the question they're asking in itself, but I think a canonical question/answer has to include those alternatives. | |

| Dec 29, 2011 at 22:53 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @MarkHenderson For our purposes we can probably get away with saying "DOS is DOS", but they could easily be referring to FreeDOS (which is what I see popping up more and more in places where DOS is still a thing), or emulation (DOSBox, DOSEMU -- though those are probably worthy of their own tags) | |

| Dec 29, 2011 at 22:38 | comment | added | Tom O'Connor | I'm pretty sure they do. I've been through every question tagged [dos], they're all either mistagged as denial of service, or relating to cmd on windoze. | |
| Dec 29, 2011 at 20:42 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | Is it safe to assume they mean MS-DOS? That way there can be no confusion... | |
| Dec 29, 2011 at 16:07 | comment | added | gWaldo | Why, oh, why would anyone be asking about DOS (the OS) here?! | |
| Dec 29, 2011 at 11:39 | comment | added | Tom O'Connor | In a slightly unrelated note, we should work to get this to be the canonical answer for such things, so we can mark and close dupes serverfault.com/questions/99890/… | |
