MS-DOS - Vista Edition

MS-DOS Lives!

Using Windows is usually a frustrating experience. However, sometimes, it does provide me with glee.

In January, while setting up Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2008 in VirtualBox, I got an error message that cracked me up. The following image has not been doctored or generated in any ways.

Invalid MS-DOS function
How do you like that? Invalid MS-DOS function? I thought MS-DOS was totally gone from Windows ages ago. Here's the full screenshot. Click to zoom in.



(Yes, I was running KDE 4.0 beta. It's kool!)

Have a great day!

  • Haha! That's awesome! I love it when Windows messes up in some way that makes Microsoft look really stupid.

  • MS-Dos was based on QDOS which in turn was based on CP/M. All versions of windows are basically evolved forms of MS-Dos (which in itself is derived from something else)... its just like English... alot of words, etc are based on shakespeare of instance...
