Does Microsoft even care anymore about MS-DOS to go after such IP infringement?

- steeleduncan 14y agoHopefully not, it is nice to see Tex on pad at last
- ams6110 14y agoWhether they care or not I don't know; I would say if you asked them they would care; I don't see any evidence that they've put the OS into the public domain or anything. I believe they do still distribute MS-DOS via MSDN, and it's still used for some legacy and embedded applications. I still see a lot of retail POS systems that appear to be running in DOS or at least in a full-screen character mode. Wonder why DOS was chosen instead of Linux?
