Difference between DOS and Windows XP?

Answer 1

Windows has a graphical interface while DOS is a command line interface.

Answer 2

DOS (Disk Operating System) was the early operating system used on computers. When Windows 95 came along, and all the various windows operating systems since then, DOS has become obsolete.

Now you can still use DOS on any Windows based machine simply by bringing up the command prompt. Hope I didn't ramble on too much there. :)

Answer 3

Ah this is an easy one:

DOS: DOS is a Disk Operating System also known as a command line interface, everything that you want the computer to do has to be typed as a command. For example: to access system information: "systeminfo" or to run a service such as check disk: "Chkdsk".

Windows XP: Win XP is a GUI, rather than using commands to tell the computer what to do, you can see it on a graphical scale which allows the user to click specific parts of the computer to get it to do something.

Answer 4

Windows is the operating system that Microsoft developed to replace DOS, which it had developed. Windows XP is a later but not latest version of Windows. All the Windows operating systems provided wysiwyg, or "what you see is what you get" which was already available on Apple computers. This means that the screen looks a lot like the file will look in print, even with the right type fonts. DOS merely put the text onscreen in plain format.

Answer 5

DOS is a command line interface, and Windows is a graphical interface.
