'''{{wp|MS-DOS}}''' (short for '''M'''icro'''s'''oft '''D'''isk '''O'''perating '''S'''ystem), or {{wp|IBM PC DOS|PC-DOS}} by {{wp|IBM}}, is an operating system produced by [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]], which can be found only on {{wp|IBM PC}} and compatible computers. MS-DOS was popular in the 1980's, acting as a primary operating system for businesses and personal computers. MS-DOS also has the ability to run programs. It was also the platform for which the original [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] line was designed for, which were operating environments running on top of DOS. | |||

It was semi-succeeded by the [[wikipedia:Windows 9x|Windows 9x]] line which consists of [[wikipedia:Windows 95|Windows 95]], [[wikipedia:Windows 98|Windows 98]], and [[wikipedia:Windows Millennium Edition|Windows Millennium Edition]] which all integrated Windows with MS-DOS as one unified product. It was ultimately succeeded by the [[wikipedia:Windows NT|Windows NT]] line starting with the release of [[wikipedia:Windows XP|Windows XP]] in 2001. Several emulators for DOS (including [[wikipedia:DOSBox|DOSBox]]) are readily available for various home computers (including PC, Mac, and Linux) and mobile devices. | |||
