 DOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of other emulators for running DOS and/or DOS-based software under various versions of UNIX, even on non-x86 platforms; one such emulator is DOSBox.
Some of them complain, saying that NUL is a DOS reserved filename, others, "save" the file (but as NUL represents a null file, whatever the program saved is lost), and others will hang or leave the computer in an inconsistent state, and a reboot may be needed.
Windows Me was the last Microsoft OS to run on DOS; operating systems in the Windows NT line (including the post-NT 4.0 versions, such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP, which aren't marketed as "Windows NT") are not based on DOS.

 Denial-of-service attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A denial-of-service attack (also, DoS attack) is an attack on a computer system or network that causes a loss of service to users, typically the loss of network connectivity and services by consuming the bandwidth of the victim network or overloading the computational resources of the victim system.
For example, the bandwidth of a router between the Internet and a LAN may be consumed by a DoS, meaning not only will the intended computer be compromised, but the entire network will also be disrupted.
A "banana attack" is another particular type of DoS.

 A quick and simple DOS Tutorial
To run DOS on a computer, it should be the first program to be executed when the computer is switched on.
In practice however, just as Windows does more than just print windows, DOS does more than just operate the disks: It enables the user to organise data files, load and execute (run) program files, and control the input and output devices attached to the computer.
This led to a problem for the designers: "How can DOS be loaded and executed when there is no DOS program running to load and execute *it*??!!".
