MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) were invented 30 years ago, when the tech knowledge wasn't that advance, computers does not offer a graphical interface. Which means that computers were use to being just plane
words, no videos, no nothing. MS-DOS is a single-task operating system; in able to use MS-DOS, one needs to learn how to write command lines. Not like most the operating now days which allow users to multitask, allow users to execute a program without knowing any commands.
MS-DOS was written by a programmer name Tim Paterson. First, it was called QDOS( Quick and Dirty Operating System), because he wrote it by himself less than two month. Then Microsoft bought it with $50000. And MS-DOS retail price was only $39.95 when it was first released.
