DOS 5 Upgrade Video

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the god-i-love-this dept.

Every now and then I stumble on something so ridiculous that I have to share it. This is a promotion video to upgrade to DOS 5 obviously made in a different era. Promoting features like mouse support, a graphical shell, and freeing up at LEAST 45k of memory, well, Gimme 5! Did I mention that it's all set to a hip beat? You'll love it. And by "Love" I mean "Stick forks in your eyes".

    Scary stuff: 17 years later, if you're running Vista 32-bit, pop open a command window and type:

    command /c ver

    I bet MS didn't plan on it sticking around quite as long as that when they made that video!
