Does your company still use dos ?

[AFB]

I keep seeing all these dos computers. Its 2004 people, it time to upgrade to windows 😉😀😛.

 

[MikePanic]

nope

 

[CrackRabbit]

Nope we use HP-UX

 

[LikeLinus]

Nope. Windows XP on all the computers.

Servers running Windows 2003 & Exchange 2003.

I love my job 😀

 

[ISAslot]

only when using Norton Ghost

 

[Evadman]

NT here. We only run 8 year old software, not 12. We have standards!

 

[mobobuff]

Nope, XP.

 

No but we use a lot of paper.

 

[Slacker]

No, and I have never worked for a company that did, was always a proprietary unix system.

dos == Spanish for "two."
DOS == Disk Operating System.

 

[imported_FishTaco]

We have one that for running a single program. Still works, nobody wants to spend money to change it or retrain the people that use it.

Are you sure it's dos and not a form of unix?

Nope, its dos. You can even see the little MS wording when they turn it on.

 

[FoBoT]

what does it do?

we only use caldera DOS when reimaging, we might try to switch to WinPE next year is someone takes the time to finger it out

 

[neonerd]

someone visited my website using windows 3.1...saw it in web stats, 😛

 

[BurnItDwn]

well ... the operating system that drives the POS systems in the stores is dos based. (about 4500 boxes)

We also have about 4500 servers running obselete versions of SCO.

 

[Kenazo]

ha ha. dos would be new compared to what some of the systems were at the last place I worked. They had this old CTOS system for emailing and stuff. YUCK! It didn't even have a 286 behind it, much older than that. Green and black monitors.... And this was a radio station!

 

[nageov3t]

nope.

in 1999, though, I worked for a company that was still using OS/2.

 

[Schadenfroh]

3.11 workgroup here

 

[KLin]

I've still got about 30 machines running windows 95 😱

 

[Shawn]

No I don't think so. I'm not sure what software our IBM cash registers are running. Probably Unix or a custom OS or something.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Not for desktop applications but we use some DOS based PC-104 bus boxes for embedded code in instruments we design.

 

[notfred]

We pretty much use Win2k and solaris. There are a few OS X and Linux machines floating around.

 

[GeekDrew]

We don't use DOS for anything except booting some systems in emergency, using the text editor, etc. No dedicated DOS boxes. Nearly all of our computer use Windows XP.... some of them use Windows 2000, we have a few using Windows 98, and one using Slackware.

 

[hdeck]

yes.
