Comment DOS Hardly Gone (Score 3, Insightful) 794

Although various system calls and 16bit support may have disappeared, most of the DOS look and feel is still going strong in Windoze.

I havn't used XP yet but I'll be surprised if these DOS features have been removed:

Directory structures starting with a 'drive' letter

Text/Binary open Mode for files (the notorious ^Ms)

The inability to delete a file which is open

File types based on .xxx extension

OS compontents still using 8.3 filename format

When we write programs that "learn", it turns out we do and they don't.

Working...
