MSDOS is the new mobile OS from Microsoft<p>Announcement: <a href="http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2015/04/01/microsoft-launches-ms-dos-mobile/" rel="nofollow">http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2015/04/01/microsoft...</a><p>Product page: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/ms-dos/" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/ms-dos/</a><p>Edit: Even an app <a href="http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/ms-dos-mobile/8573c4a8-b9df-4409-90a6-dad2dc0b6b26" rel="nofollow">http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/ms-dos-mobile/85...</a><p>Wow, the app is really well done. SPOILERS: Can cd into a programs folder, and launch programs like sms.exe, where I get a blue DOS-style window asking for input. Can use "phone <nr>" to call someone, send e-mails. If i launch "internet" it plays an old modem sound before launching the stock OS browser.<p>CDing into C:\GAMES\RPS and launching RPS.exe first gives you a question about using "PC Speaker" or "Sound Blaster", and then how many colors you would like. Then the game crashes with "Error! Not enough memory, RPS needs 641KB conventional memory (...)" and then a quote "<i>---Cortana: That's odd, 640 K ought to be enough for anyone</i>", haha. After that, it guides you through using mem and loadhigh to get the game to run. And of course, RPS is Rock-Paper-Scissors in 8-bit glory.<p>The camera is an ASCII-camera, using letters with only a few colors, or CGA mode. Here are two selfies I took <a href="http://imgur.com/a/deajM" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/deajM</a><p>The command help gives all useable command: CD, CLS, COLOR, DATE, DIR, ECHO, EDIT (edit autoxec.bat for instance), EXIT, FORMAT, HELP, LOADHIGH, MEM, PATH, TIME, TYPE, VER.
