If you will ask Microsoft, Windows 95&98 is the operation system,
while DOS is now a program loaded by Windows when you run "command.com"
from Explorer, or choose the DOS shortcut from the start menu.
This is, ofcourse, not true. Windows is just loading automaticly..
after DOS boot up. So Windows is STILL a dos-based application.
The "DOS Windows" are just a more sophisticated way of doing
an "Exit to DOS shell".
Windows 95 can detect if its loading on top of MS-DOS 7, or another
DOS such as DR-DOS. So if you boot DR-DOS for example, instead
of MS-DOS, Windows 95 will refuse to run. However, as Caldera allready
prooved in the Caldera VS Microsoft trial, a simple TSR designed
to make Windows believe that DR-DOS was MS-DOS, caused Windows 95
to load on top of DR-DOS with no trouble.
This leads me to believe that there is a good chance that while
Windows 95 is on top of another DOS, DR-DOS in this example,
the "DOS Windows" that will open will also be of DR-DOS. Which is
prooving that these are just DOS Command Prompt shells, which prooves
that Windows is being ran by DOS, and its not DOS who is being ran by
Windows.
Most newspapers tend to believe what Microsoft tells them.
I guess this was one.
