In this video we answer the question "Does Windows 10 run on DOS?"

Even in Windows 10 you can access that black screen with white text, know as the command prompt. You can type in old MS DOS commands like COPY or TREE. So if Windows 10 has this program that looks and behaves like MS DOS, is Windows 10 actually running on top of DOS? Windows 3.1 runs on top of DOS. Does Windows 10 as well? Lets find out!

Never really thought about it much, but yeah, the command prompt is just that: a command-line terminal emulator that understands DOS commands, but it isn't "DOS".

Don't laugh but I've been using a DOS based automotive program at my shop for the past 32 years! Now I'm testing it on Windows 10 32 bit, getting ready for 2020

Win 1.01 - ME desn't stay "on top" of DOS, DOS for them is just a bootloader (like bootmgr), disk driver (kind of) and 8086 Virtual Machine for DOS apps at the same time. It's complicated, but it works just like this!

Actually my question is: is Windows run on uh kind of CLI? Because GUIs on Linux is actually running on a display server
also heck this video is old

But doesn't Windows NT also have a lot of crap from Windows 9x and DOS? It's a brand new OS, but I think the kernel is still heavily based on DOS/9x.
