- We all know she thinks "Windows 8 is the worst operating system" but I had a little trick up my sleeve to get her to change her mind... Introducing MS-DOS 6.22, A text based operating system made by Microsoft in the 1980's and 1990's. Its official!!! Windows 8 is no longer her most disliked operating system ;)
Tasks Given:
- What time is it?
- Write save and open a text document.
- What's 48x32
- Turn off your computer
The mother in this video only ever uses Windows XP running with the classic win95 theme. Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as DOS? Then give your suggestions in the comments section.
Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows. - Розваги

OSFirsttimer: you have to exit this help program.
Mum: Do I press Ctrl+alt+delete?
OSFirsttimer: No don't do tha- You just upgraded to Windows 7 professional!
LOL xD :D. 😂
best reenactment
Ctrl+Alt+Delete again?
You stinky...last time you upgraded to Windows 7.
+MinecraftMaster 1"No don't do tha- You just upgraded to Windows 7 professional!" If only you could do it on windows 8....
+MinecraftMaster 1 Tssss... Yeah, maybe on real hardware next time then... ;) lol
4:42 "no dont do tha- You've upgraded to windows 7 professional" that part cracks me up everytime
Yea, ms-dos really was a great OS. It's great that windows 7 professional was hidden in its code and activated when you press alt-ctrl-del ;)
LOL
ctrl alt del*
😆
Did you get the windows 7 add-on
@@That1Dummy alt ctrl delete works too, try it.
I actually like MS-DOS.
You Going to Be professional To use Ms-dos Because all you do is Typing without any mouse! otherwise Use Microsoft-Bob.
I like #MSDOS too! :D I think the first operating system i used was Mac but #Mac and #Windows are better than #DOS so you better #hashtag out of this comment or i'll #hashtag you!
Happy tylermovieproducction you dont have to be a professional to use it but you have to not be a baby to use it.

There's never been a time in my life where I have used dos. I grew up in the windows xp era, updated to vista then windows 7. I just looked up how to use msdos a little bit for the purpose of this video.
I have used it. Not to great extent, but evenso I will probably still beat many youngsters. In my work, I do STILL use it on a regular basis. It's always nice to have new interns and see them completely boggled when they find out the mouse isn't working and everything is keyboard based.
Funniest time, before one of those computers (running Windows 95) broke down, was when the machine was booting and the intern in question shortly looked up from his phone and saw the splash screen for Windows 95. 'DID WINDOWS 95 REALLY EXIST!?' he basically yelled at me like he had just discovered the greatest thing on earth.
Really lol? If you born in the late 90s then that’s would be Windows 95/98 Era.
I was born in the sixties. Our first computer was a roller deck, for most of us computers were only seen in sci/fi films and needed a whole room to store it.
It wasn't till 77/78 that computing became a subject in school and punch tape at that.
So some of us tech savvy oldies are well versed in Ms DOS
Nowadays I use DOS to completely blow computer scammers mind, as they try and get you to login in to windows,
And you reply saying you can only see a C:\
19:20 I laughed so hard there. So she knew how to program in QBasic all this time, just that she did not know that QBasic is basically the same thing as BASIC.
it is?
When you dropped down the book of instructions, I about spit out my soda on the keyboard. I would guess she and I are about the same age. ( Only I was a kinda nerdy and used most of these as they came out). It is so much fun watching your mom try out the different OS's. Thank you ( and her ) for putting these online.
I watched this video on my iPod touch probably 8 years ago, before I even had a Google account, and since then I remembered this video for some reason. Almost a decade later, it pops up in my recommended again.
Oh how time flies
You must have a very patient and dedicated mum.
she's not patient at all in this video. she's actually very annoyed
4:42 "You've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional" LOL
Wow... if only people had known about Ctrl-Alt-Del in 1994 huh? ;P :D
Ctrl+Alt+Del in MS-DOS reboots it.
I know, was meant as a joke. Obviously Ctrl+Alt+Esc wouldn't start Windows 7 back then either.

lol
Tip: To exit the time command without entering a new time, just press Enter.
I enjoy Dos, Which explaines why im a 12 year old nerd.
DrCatJailReviews can I have a dos download
DrCatJailReviews nerds can spell explain
TinyGaming // tinydemonic you cant download it itself, u need a vm creator and the setup for dos
I might start using DOS. Question. Does DOS run all codes? I use Lua
Insignia no
Love this, going to use it in my lesson tomorrow to show my students what DOS is.
How did your students take it? :)
Good thing she didn't try running an earlier version of DOS. She would have had to use EDLIN to edit text files.
I tried CPM in an emulator. I consider myself quite good with DOS and okay with Linux command line stuff (Bash). I could get it to do some stuff, but it could be a bit frustrating. I suppose some one who was used to CPM would have much less trouble.
My theory for 'bad commands' is that commands that didn't pass a test were turned into 'bad command or file name'.
Love your videos, can't wait for the next one! You should try Linux Deepin, Pinguy OS, Descent OS, and maybe something with E17 like for example Macpup.
Oh cool man! You have alot planned for her. I'm glad that I have subscribed :)
Cntrl C would get you out of that infinite loop.
Liking this channel btw!..you got a sub. :)
"stop it" LOL
Great video series
Wow. Thanks for sharing!
you could press enter in the time to keep the same time
type filename is a better way for small files
Ryan M
but certainly not binary files.
i remember now, mssav, tree, smartdrv, memmaker (used that one to config memory for playing games, EMS, XMS) scandisk, thanks for the revival man!
the MS DOS and earlier versions of windows like 3.11 and up will run on the newer hardware like 775, 1155, 2011 sockets as well as ssd's ect??
17:59 In order to turn off MS-DOS, you have to type "exit" and then press enter.
Thanks to this video I learned basic dos!
Very nice my friends thanks
Techs should learn DOS just in case Windows fails so that they can troubleshoot and get around the myriad of folders Windows creates. I learned portions of DOS before taking any computer courses and it was fun to use, just as it is today. Many manufacturer companies used DOS to create data usage reports, etc. Some small ones may still use a form of DOS if they don't want to deal with Windows. Windows makes doing things easier, since it is a GUI system/environment than what DOS was and takes advantage of the mouse without having to include code, commands, variables for the mouse to work within a batch file, i.e. the Autoexec.bat and the Config.sys files.
Having access to a vintage computer at home allows me to utilize an older DOS version and experiment with its commands, etc that I once did several decades ago. It's fun.
I use Dos a lot still to skim through files and to jog the old memories. I love DOS and the games they had.
7:05 The "time" command tells the computer that you want to change the time, if you did not intend to do that, cancel it by pressing [ENTER]. If you just wanted to see the time, use the command "time" with the variable "/t" ("time /t"), that will tell the computer that you just want to see the time.

You sure gave mum a hard time there - but I giggled a lot XD
It's just ctrl+c I almost screamed when he said the loop was inescapable.
And CTRL+Break.
I hated Dos, until I actually learned how to type, then it was fine hehe. Dos isn't for smart computer people, its for people who actually can type.
lol
james friel Its for Smart people who can type. Really, you only needed to know about 15 dos commands to be very handy. You could learn it all in a week of casual evenings. Once you knew those commands, it was very productive.
Nash1a True!
Nash1a The average consumer would *not want* to learn even 15 commands.
Stefan Teunissen LOL ok :P

good episode!
1:26: "Well, it's an operating system"
- OSFirstTimer, 2012
what application do you use to stimulate other OS
Drive space always make me remember the windows xp thingy
“It’s a very negative system”😁. I always feel that way with UNIX/Linux style operating systems with their cryptic and un-user friendly Case Sensitive commands. Mum would be the best operating system designer / focus group test person. Operating system designers take note, always test if your mother can use it. If not, then the system is not usable and is a “negative system”. If it passes the Mum usability test, you’ve got a winner!
Plot twist: The bad commands actually did something bad.
I enjoyed the video so much. I'm learning Bash Scripting and this happens to me all the time😂
I have an entire book dedicated on how to use MS-DOS 5, and I thought that was the shortest you can get with MS-DOS instructional books (well it did have how to install it, dos shell, blah blah blah). This one takes the cake!
"The MS-DOS section is only 20 pages! The Windows portion has 300 pages for it"
I approve of this message and this channel =^)
Just a quick question, what is UA-cam like when running Links?
18 and I got my first computer in 2001 with windows xp on it.
msdos does have a calculator command, all you have to do is type echo before your equation
Hello Os first timer, I have vm ware workstation and was wondering if you knew how to get dos to full screen.?
view > full screen mode
Ctrl+C interrupts commands in DOS.
I remember having similar problems with my Mum when we got our first home computer. It came with Windows 3.1 but booted into DOS. Everything we typed was a bad command or filename.
About the QBASIC loop, I used to use it a lot and I'm sure there was a command to interrupt the program. CTRL+PAUSE/BREAK or CTRL+ESC maybe.
In 2000, MS DOS was renamed Command Prompt which has been kept from Windows 2000 - Windows 8 (2012) and so on.
Many Windows users react the same way as this lady when it comes to the command line. What ! No mouse? No GUI? and i cannot point and click through the pretty pictures?
Then scurry away hurridly in fright and panic. That is so cool.
Best of all your videos. )))))))))))))))
4:40 Person: Now exit the program
Mom: Ctrl+alt+del?
Person: No don't do tha-
Person: You just upgraded into Windows 7 professional!
That’s Philip
After typing time[return] just press the [return] key a second time if you don't want to update the time.
The worst thing about DOS was file names could only be up to 8 characters long excluding the 3 character file type.
PS. It took me a lot longer to upgrade to Windows 7.
By the way.
You can use the mouse in MS-DOS. All you have to do is to get the driver (look it up on the internet, it's been quite I while since I've last fooled around with this OS), get it to launch from the autoexec.bat at the start-up and you'll pretty much have it.
Oh, and yeah. Look up for dos-shell. It's quite a cool quirk of MS-DOS 6.22. Had a pretty fun time using it.
Ctrl-Atl-Del to reset, Ctrl-C to exit the infinite loop, Alt-X to exit Qbasic and * is used for multiplication.
DOS is a command line OS, so to operate it you need to know commands. It's like linux's terminal. In fact at its core linux is a command line OS. GUI is just an extra set of programs running on top.
You can exit anything with CTRL + C (for example the "enter date" thing or the infinite loop) and you can scroll to the console when the dir command can't show everything
Ah... That's how you break a loop ;)
Actually your mum rocks! nice video :-)
I still have memories of using my Windows 98 MS-DOS startup floppy to run scandisk. If manually started from Windows, scandisk would run while the OS was running, as opposed to running during boot. Therefore, everytime something changed on the disk (Windows 98 supported paging), the process would start over from scratch. It was much quicker and easier to to MS-DOS, as 64mb of RAM was enought to not require DOS to use paging. If only I knew of a way to defrag from MS-DOS.
Even Mac OS 1 (1984) came with a user interface ;)
to be honnest, in '94 we were using mice (that doc editor is certainly mouse-enabled) and non-masochists were also running Norton Commander
MS-DOS Is so beautiful
She was right about the CTRL ALT and DELETE it restarts MS DOS.
ROFL, this is very funny to watch. I remember using DOS. i still remember the commands.
brilliant [:
MS-DOS still exists today as command prompt. Long live DOS!
its not MS-DOS its a command prompt its not its own operating system.
realgroovy24 tech You're right, command prompt isn't its own operating system, but its the "essence" of DOS that still exists. You can still almost every in cmd as if you were running MS-DOS on actual hardware.
Bonus points in retro/vintage category if you would've done it on a CRT.
Just only by reading the title, I know exactly what gonna happen.
You don't actually need to type in a new time at all you can just press ENTER
"you cannot stop it" - Ctrl+C: am i nothing to you
3:16: Phillip: Why are you putting your hand on a mouse? There's no mouse.
Diana: Why isn't there a mouse?
Phillip: This OS doesn't have a mouse.
What is deltree, and what happens if you open it?
Haha, laugh hard about the time. Very funny series, thanks for sharing.
But she doesn't have to enter the time to get out, just press enter to quit.
My MS-DOS 6.22 came with a Supp disk, which gave Dosshell and other extras.
Every version of os has a suppfizk
Man I remember using DOS and that typing program for a class in highschool
Time is the command for resetting the time. To help guide you, it displays the time.
I knew this one would be hilarious after that qbasic moment in windows 3.11.
Still better then Windows 8
no
Shut up, Antonis.
+Brody Pack He is typing... im pretty sure
+Resident007 So true! Because DOS is a tiny OS, Win8 is a huge spy malware :)
Illegalquantity good luck using internet on dos (it's impossible)
For us old dogs this is super fast to work with. I still can type it in faster than finding an icon on a screen.
"And I could program in Basic" Uhhhhh.... Yeah, I don't even know where to begin seeing as what program she had open.
How is MSDOS stretched to your screen resolution?
I've heard incorrect use of the terminal can mess up your computer so I am not sure I would feel comfortable with her doing this.
so the mac os x 10.2 was in pear pc ?
I was gonna say about 99%+ of people using MS-Dos 6.22 used a mouse, but you're right, a mouse driver wasn't installed by default, however most people would of got MS-DOS pre-installed with their computer, which the OEM would of loaded all the drivers in Autoexec.bat already.
ms-dos 6.22 has mouse support, that allows you to use the editor and help extension of it, with mouse.
Yea, I got her to try dos for the comedy sided of things. Dos was not requested... It was completly my idea for her to try it so I uploaded it with the zorin video incase people didn't like it. Luckily people did like it though ;)
Windows 2000!, that sound like a great idea actually.
What about SET /A 32*48 for the Calculation?
Yea but was the mouse driver installed by default? It's just that we test operating systems out of the box without modifications...
You can try out "GNUstep" then, it's opensource variant of the old NeXTstep OS by Steve Jobs's NeXT company...
And it's basically the today's MAC GUI father... : ))
It's fully source compatible with mac's cocoa...
It can be installed on Win, Mac, Linux (easyest).
This was so cute, she is very funny xD
Wow DOS did have a text editor program? I didn't suppose it'd been THAT advanced :D
Question: What emulator are you using?
Йваавномп видео (Great video)!
dear OSFirstTimer,
how did you make the ms-dos 6.22 go full screen like that?
VMware>View>Full Screen
TheYellowPolarBear i want FULLSCREEN not a little box in the middle what you told me doesn't work
Mr Kitten Exclusive Mode in the view tab
TheYellowPolarBear i dont' see exclusive mode i only see fullscreen and unity for fulscreen modes
TheYellowPolarBear never mind i got it working now thx
I also tried that OS on when i used to had virtual box before they got my pc look like new pc
Yea but surprisingly it was quite short overall ;) still I helped her heaps in this video... She couldn't have done it without me!
how do you get the emulator
Also check out Freedos, wich is a free version of dos, that is fully compatible with today's hardware
Where can I download MS-DOS?
