Write any four advantages of windows over DOS operating environment.

List any four advantages of windows over DOS operating environment. Biggest Different is Graphical user interface and Multimedia feature both are support by Window, not MS DOS. Windows is pure GUI (Graphical User Interface) based whereas DOS is character oriented command based OS. DOS has limited number of functions to deal with the screen and communication devices. Most DOS programs do not use those features (functions). Therefore, it is mostly faster to deal directly with the computer's hardware. On the other hand, windows applications interact with the windows environment, not directly with the hardware. If an application decides to read the keyboard, it calls a function within windows. Internally, windows decodes the function call and translates it into hardware commands. Windows is multitasking operating system whereas DOS is single tasking. DOS is a single threading OS, Windows is a Multithreading. Windows contains build-in networking, which allows users to share files and applications with each other, whereas DOS doesn't have built-in networking facility. Server administration is not possible in DOS. Windows have more security features than the DOS. Windows support more memory than the DOS. Windows applications take up less disk space, and less space in memory, when windows is running already.
