I don't think you can consider Windows NT to be a rewrite of DOS. They were different products entirely, and existed in the marketplace concurrently for upwards of a decade.
- trimbo 6y agoMicrosoft took their entire userbase and successfully shifted them from DOS (and then Windows on DOS) to NT. They did it in a piecemeal fashion with e.g. Windows 95 and WIN32. What else you would call it?
- andrewprock 6y agoI would call it "different products entirely".
