MS-DOS (for Microsoft Disk Operating System) is an operating system commercialized by Microsoft. It was the most widely used member of the DOS family of operating systems and was the dominant operating system for the PC compatible platform during the 1980s. It has gradually been replaced on consumer desktop computers by various generations of the Windows operating system.
MS-DOS was originally released in 1981 and had eight major versions released before Microsoft stopped development in 2000. It was the key product in Microsoft's growth from a programming languages company to a diverse software development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources.
MS-DOS employs a command line interface and a batch scripting facility via its command interpreter, command.com. MS-DOS was designed so users could easily substitute a different command line interpreter, for example 4DOS.
Beginning with version 4.0, MS-DOS included a file manager program with a quasi-graphical user interface (the DOS Shell) that featured menus, split windows, and program shortcuts using character mode graphics.

MicroSoft Disk Operating System. It was a command line operating system. Windows 3.0 through 95 used it as the primary engine with a GUI on top of it. It did not allow the mutlitasking that we are used to today, but was a lot more stable in many respects.
