i say dos is no platform for anything.
it does not provide any facility to programmers and is of liitle use
also to users.
> 2. Uhh ...maybe wrong... ... but I thought that DOS was written in basic.
you are defineltely wrong. no op sys has been written in basic.
till now most op sys has been written in assembly and C lang.
in fact i am not aware of any op sys written in any other lang.
(except small parts being written in c++)

cheap virus creators like to be called as hackers.
