MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) was the Microsoft-marketed
version of the first widely-installed operating system in personal computers.
It was essentially the same operating system that Bill Gates's young company
developed for IBM as Personal Computer - Disk Operating System (PC-DOS).
Most users of either DOS system simply referred to their system as Disk
Operating System. Like PC-DOS, MS-DOS was (and still is) a non-graphical
line-oriented command-driven operating system, with a relatively simple
interface but not overly "friendly" user interface.
