Not necessarily true! He could've meant IBM PC-DOS!

(For those thinking this is a serious post, PC-DOS *was* MS-DOS under a 
rebranding agreement. Around v6.1 PC-DOS began getting new features not 
in MS-DOS, but my comment above is pretty much the definition of "a 
distinction without a difference". And yes, you have to be older than 
dirt in order to have lived through this time period.)

ObFreeSoftware: remember, folks, don't use either PC-DOS or MS-DOS. 
FreeDOS exists and is superior to both, not just in terms of your 
freedoms but technologically, too.
