Late last month, in Windows 10 Preview Build 14791, the command prompt was put out to pasture. Dona Sarkar, head of the Windows Insider Program, wrote, “PowerShell is now the defacto command shell from File Explorer. It replaces Command Prompt (aka, cmd.exe).”

I remember creating custom boot floppies that would boot my Windows 95 PC into pure DOS mode with the necessary drivers to play X-Wing VS TIE Fighter and other games, so I could maximize my hardware use.

I even had custom DOS booting for "tools CDs" I created to boot a troubled Windows PC into DOS and run utilities, reimage it, and even install Windows 9x.

Ah DOS. I'll never forget the fun we had.

These days, I play in bash under OS X, but I'll never forget cutting my "command prompt" teeth with DOS.
