DOS has no User Login like Linux and is insecure as a result.
DOS is still being used by NASA and other places.
I want to write books on DOS programming using PowerBASIC 3.5 and other languages to help the newbies learn DOS programming.
- zzo38computer 1y agoIt is not the user login that makes Linux secure (although there are multiple kinds of security, so it is not that simple anyways). Even with DOS, some computers can have a passworded BIOS.

IMHO the best source of info for that era of computing is Peter Norton's Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC. Not sure how many newbies are interested in developing those skills though.
- mikewarot 1y agoMS-DOS on an IBM PC (or clone) with Dual Floppy Disks is still the most secure workstation you can buy today. You can write protect and easily copy the boot media. There's no persistent writable storage the user can't manage directly. You can easily manage your risks in a manner that is impossible with modern systems.
