Finally, Microsoft launches MS-DOS for smartphones

Ask any geek over forty what their all-time favorite Microsoft operating system is, and the answer will likely be MS-DOS. Lets face it, all those windows on your screen are just a nuisance compared to the beautiful simplicity of the command line.

Microsoft has finally recognized this, launching MS-DOS Mobile today. It lets you ditch that pesky Windows Phone whatever-version-you-have, and enjoy your smartphone the way nerds in the eighties always dreamed of: By directly typing out every single command.

"They told us we shouldn't do it," says a Microsoft Guy in the promo video (above). "But you know what? We've done it anyway." That really says it all, folks.

The MS-DOS Mobile is available here.

Это они в самом деле так юморили на 1е апреля. Страничка с официального сайта Microsoft уже удалена.

Microsoft launches MS-DOS mobile to reboot its struggling smartphone efforts

By Tom Warren on April 1, 2015 04:07 am

Microsoft is going back to the basics for a joke at the expense of Windows Phone today. What do you do when your smartphone operating system has less than three percent market share worldwide? Reboot. While the software giant isn’t quite dramatically rebooting all over again, it has genuinely launched an MS-DOS mobile app for Windows Phone as part of an April Fools’ Day prank. It’s one of the more elaborate efforts we’ll likely witness on the most irritating and trivial day of the year.

Just like the real MS-DOS, you navigate around by typing in DIR to list available apps and using the CD command to enter into directories. I must admit, it’s rather fun and nostalgic. If you manage to navigate to the programs folder there’s a camera.exe app that will let you take an ASCII or CGA selfie. There’s even a Rock Paper Scissors game that reminds you of the good old days of Sound Blaster sound cards and CGA, EGA, and VGA display settings with the help of Cortana. It’s all incredibly nerdy, which is probably why I begrudgingly love it. Just type WIN at any point and sit back and marvel at Windows 3.1.

Но far для Android ведь есть. Почему бы и не запустить FreeDOS под Windows 10 на смартфоне ?????
