PC DOS 2000 review:
5 stars (DOS still has a future!!) - There is still a place for DOS in the computing world - oldersystems, with limited resources, that are doing basic wordprocessing, database management, text-only Internet access,and telemetry support - and PC DOS 2000 is the perfect OSto keep these machines chugging along ... Y2K compliancy,new programming, ease of use, and many utilities.Just a comment on the Warning! review by Dr. Ronald Gibbons -IBM makes it very clear that they do NOT recommend usingPC DOS 2000 with Win95 or Win98. The following is quoted from IBM's FAQ page'Can I run PC DOS 2000 with Windows 95 / Windows 98?' 'Unlike Windows 3.x which requires a separate operating system (DOS), Windows 95 and Windows 98 have combined DOS and Windows into an integrated product. It is not recommended that you install PC DOS 2000 on a system running Windows 95 or Windows 98.'
2 stars (Warning!) - The product MIGHT be good,but I never had the opportunity to use it. The program loaded witjout problem, but then I received a message indicating that PC DOS 2000 does not support the version of windows that I have loaded. I have Windows 95 and MS Office. No matter what I did I could not load thoses programs, nor could I return to DOS 6.0. In the end I had to reformat Drive C: and completely reload all of my software. There should have been a warning about which versions of software that PC DOS 2000 supports.
5 stars (DOS is not dead) - PC-DOS 2000 is a minor upgrade to PC-DOS 7.0, the version that came out as Windows 95 was released. This version is Y2K compliant and supports the new Euro currency symbol. It comes with many features not associated with DOS such as pen support and PCMCIA support. It also comes with a GUI backup program, Stacker 4.0, IBM antivirus, REXX programming and a plethora of utilities. Runs on anything from an 8088 upwards. I use it on my laptop with Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Even though it's a 486 I find it faster than the Pentium laptops my friends have that are running Win9x or WinME. I credit the speed in part to PC-DOS 2000. After 17 years of tweaks and improvements to DOS, PC-DOS 2000 is honed for speed and minimal memory usage. And it's just about perfect.
