Microsoft announces MS-DOS for mobile

by 71 comments

Microsoft is bringing back MS-DOS but this time on the mobile. The company has announced a new version of MS-DOS for the mobile platform that you can download and install on your Lumia device.

The new (or rather the old) OS takes you back to your roots, back to some of the first computers we used. You can now relive those days in all their grayscale glory on your phone. The OS is also forwards compatible, so you can run Windows Phone apps as well, although pretty sure MS-DOS had more apps than Windows Phone does.

Tom Messett, from the marketing team at Microsoft Lumia, said:

“MS-DOS Mobile allows us to look proudly back, while at the same time moving us defiantly forwards. It’s simple, effective productivity re-imagined through the medium of DOS.”

You can find out more about the OS in the video below.
