This OS is what got it all started for PCs. It was produced by Microsoft and was a 16-bit command line (non-GUI) operating system, designed to run on 16-bit chips. It was still used for years on 32-bit chips. Today you can find a similar command line interface in all Windows products for quick and easy mouse-less file manipulation by running the "cmd" command.
