In all 32-bit (IA-32) editions of the Windows NT family since 1993, DOS emulation is provided by way of a virtual DOS machine (NTVDM). 64-bit (IA-64 and x86-64) versions of Windows do not support NTVDM and cannot run 16-bit DOS applications directly; third-party emulators such as DOSbox can be used to run DOS programs on those machines.
FreeBSD is a free-software Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). The first version was released in 1993 developed from 386BSD [3] —the first fully functional and free Unix clone—and has since continuously been the most commonly used BSD-derived operating system.
Originally MS-DOS was designed to be an operating system that could run on any computer with a 8086-family microprocessor.It competed with other operating systems written for such computers, such as CP/M-86 and UCSD Pascal.
The FreeDOS version was developed by Ron Cemer and is licensed under the GPL. [8] DR DOS 6.0 [ 9 ] and Datalight ROM-DOS [ 10 ] include an implementation of the share command. Windows XP and later versions include 16-bit commands (nonnative) for the MS-DOS subsystem that are included to maintain MS-DOS compatibility.
The last remaining components related to MS-DOS was the NTVDM component, which was removed entirely in Windows starting with Windows 11 as the operating system dropped support for 32-bit processors in favor of being solely offered in 64-bit versions only. This effectively ended any association of MS-DOS within Microsoft Windows after 36 years.
