Hold your horses :-) Wait a minute DOS is an OS on 1 or 2 360KB 5 1/4" disks. Windows 95 is no OS. It's still windows based on dos. Same thing for W98. Just press F8 and boot in dos type win from dos and you come in W9X. Windows ME they played around so you could not notice rigth away, I believe the removed the boot in DOS already in ME. First real OS windows was NT4 or infact it was OS2 / Lan Manager. Win NT 3.5 is the folow up of Lan Manager (which was based on MS OS/2 which they developed for IBM).

Erwin ...no, no, no ...Windows 2 was NOT an OS at all, it was a GUI shell for DOS ...Win 95 was the first version that didn't require DOS to work ...and even then... :(((((( William Hindman Government is not reason, government is not persuasion, government is force.
