Is it just me?  Am I the only person who is generally satisfied with MS-DOS? 
I mean, granted, I don't do much in the way of real msdos programming, but DOS
does about everything I want it to do, in my life, and for my uses.  I was
glad to see an equal contempt for windows, however, since I'm a diehard C:\>
kinda guy.  Now, all totalled, I've not run into one thing I've wanted to do
in DOS that I couldn't do.  Maybe I'm too big a newbie to know what's what,
but I'm pretty happy with MS-DOS.

PS...if you feel the need, flame away...anything infantile will be ignored.
