"underneath" windows?
> NEW DOS IS YEAR 2000-COMPLIANT
> IBM has launched a new PC DOS 2000 that automatically corrects the two-digit
> dates that threaten to befuddle older computer systems, and also supports
> the European Monetary Union's new euro currency symbol -- a management
> problem that could prove even more troublesome for European businesses than
> the Y2K problem. According to recent research, there are between 120
> million and 150 million people who still use DOS on their desktop machines.
> "We believe about half of those are business users," says a manager at IBM's
> Network Computing Software division. That figure doesn't include users of
> Microsoft Windows 3.1, which includes DOS as a component. (InternetWeek 27
