Hey don't get me wrong...
Unix is the best OS there is. But DOS isn't dead and
shouldn't be, simply because it is a simple, single user,
single tasking OS that can be crutched onto a network,
ala netware. It is also all that most people need
(most don't use DOS or ms-Windoze to it's full
potential by any means.) You can't exactly expect to
run a Unix on an 8088 w/ 10 megs-- but this is
still a usable machine, great for DOS text work, file
manipulation, and runs 16 bit progs. People who
can use that effectively can still be more productive
than those who have no clue in Windoze...
