If yes, why it cannot boot a pc? If not, why ms-dos can be run under it? I am totally confused after one of my friend told me "Window 3 is oper. sys, since it rearrange the ram." While another friend told me "It's not a oper. sys. It's just a application program. Thanks in advance to those replyer.
