SYDNEY: Microsoft launched a revolutionary new operating system MS-DOS Mobile for their Lumia Smartphone line. The company says it’s trying to “go back to where productivity began for millions of people.”
“Whether you’re going back to BASIC, or simply booting into DOS for the first time, MS-DOS Mobile marks the next step in Microsoft’s reinvention of productivity.” The OS will let users run installed apps, and also has a few easter eggs, to be found using C: / prompt. Lead Designer Daniel Glass said, “Turning our back on graphics was hugely liberating. We’ve dropped the resolution, and in doing so re-discovered our roots. The inspiration for the graphical design is Courier New meets film noir.”
