Not the same
DOS was an OS. The Command prompt is not (anymore).
Why is DOS gone? Because you had to actually REMEMBER commands, and then type them in. This took a more time to do the same thing.
Also, the applications DO turn out better with a gui wyswig screen. Anyone remember making a WordPerfect document back in DOS?
The problem is to get people to buy the next version of Office, they NEED to add all kinds of bells and whistles that have little to no value to the majority of the users. Feature bloat.
That is a big part of the problem of windows and the bloatware that runs on it.
Make it clean, make it simple, make it work.
I shouldn't NEED 50 times the compter I had five years ago to do word processing, damnitallanyways!
I shouldn't NEED a few GIGS of diskspace to load an office product, damnitallanyways!
