Primarily consists of?
editSurely DOS is a generic term - with DOS/360 probably being first - and this is referring to the PC/DOS-come-MS/DOS version only? I'm sure this page is contentious, but how about changing
"DOS (/dɒs/, /dɔːs/[1]) is a family of disk operating systems, hence the name.[2] DOS primarily consists of MS-DOS and a rebranded version under the name IBM PC DOS, both of which were introduced in 1981."
to "DOS usually refers to a family of operating systems, primarily MS-DOS and a rebranded version under the name IBM PC DOS, both of which were introduced in 1981." Number774 (talk) 19:18, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- The second version would lose the first-line link to disk operating systems, the generic article, which seems like a poor change. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:27, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
- DOS is a generic term, and within various computer communities the term "DOS" refers to different software (e.g. Apple DOS, Atari DOS, etc.). But the the overwhelming association between "DOS" and "MS-DOS" will take time to shake. Dgpop (talk) 02:56, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
