So very soon an IBM-compatible architecture became the goal, and before long all 8086-family computers closely emulated IBM hardware, and only a single version of MS-DOS for a fixed hardware platform was all that was needed for the market. This specific version of MS-DOS is the version that is discussed here, as all other versions of MS-DOS ...

Microsoft releases Windows 3.0, which would become the first widely successful version of Windows. The improved interface resembles OS/2 Presentation Manager and fully supports EGA and VGA graphics adapters. Windows 3.0 runs on DOS 3.1 or higher, [408] in one of three modes:
86-DOS (a.k.a. QDOS, created 1980), an operating system developed by Seattle Computer Products for its 8086-based S-100 computer kit, heavily inspired by CP/M; Concurrent DOS (a.k.a. CDOS, Concurrent PC DOS and CPCDOS) (since 1983), a CP/M-86 and MS-DOS 2.11 compatible multiuser, multitasking DOS, based on Concurrent CP/M-86 developed by Digital Research
If an independent installation of both, DOS and Windows is desired, DOS ought to be installed prior to Windows, at the start of a small partition. The system must be transferred by the (dangerous) "SYSTEM" DOS-command, while the other files constituting DOS can simply be copied (the files located in the DOS-root and the entire COMMAND directory).
The original PC Tools package was first developed as a suite of utilities for DOS, released for retail in 1985 for $39.95. [1]With the introduction of version 4.0, the name was changed to PC Tools Deluxe, and the primary interface became a colorful graphical shell (previously the shell resembled PC BOSS and was monochrome.)
The last retail version of MS-DOS was MS-DOS 6.22; after this, MS-DOS became part of Windows 95, 98 and Me. The last retail version of PC DOS was PC DOS 2000 (also called PC DOS 7 revision 1), though IBM did later develop PC DOS 7.10 for OEMs and internal use.
