> At this point, XP and DOS are almost synonymous for me. IIRC Windows 9x & ME were based on (MS)DOS; but 2k and XP were based on NT, which was quite different. (Note sure what those differences actually are, since I only started programming once I'd switched to Linux...) | ||

That's correct. Personally as an MS-DOS retro enthusiast and programmer I don't know how anyone could call XP and DOS synonymous! | ||

Exactly. I switched to Linux in the 90s. | ||
