A stand alone operating system is a system that is independent of another for example windows 3.1 ,95,98 were all a shell based on the ms-dos operating system to put it in simpler terms windows was a dressed up version of ms-dos with all the bells and whistles to be more appealing to the eye and be more user friendly . later versions of windows were independent of the ms-dos operating system hence they are known as "stand alone operating systems" .
