'''MS-DOS''' is an operating system marketed by [[Microsoft]] that was released in [[1981]]. As a result of being distributed on IBM systems during the '80s it soon became immensely successful, and the platform of choice for computer games. Both MS-DOS and its direct competitor, IBM's [[PC DOS]] (also released in [[1981]]), originated from an OS called 86-DOS. | '''MS-DOS''' is an operating system marketed by [[Microsoft]] that was released in [[1981]].
