Today Microsoft launches MS-DOS Mobile, a new OS designed especially for Lumia smartphones.
Microsoft is going back to where productivity started for millions of people, launching a beautifully simple OS.
The MS-DOS Mobile preview is an essential download. 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 allows you to run a number of already installed applications, while the sleuths amongst you will delight in uncovering a few extra special features – all through the medium of the much-loved C:/ prompt.
To find out how, and to learn about the story behind it, watch our exclusive launch video.

Yep! All us command line ninja's would have a field day

It if were real the button would be protected and programmable so that you selected what it was for. That it is for certain products only gives away that it can't be real. That and the whole idea is pretty dumb.
