There are newer versions that were provided with [[Windows 95]] (MS-DOS 7.0/7.1), [[Windows 98|98]] (MS-DOS 7.1), and [[Windows ME|ME]] (MS-DOS 8.0). Some of these versions can be used without the accompanying Windows.

 The only DOS operating system still in active development is '''FreeDOS''', an open source implementation. First conceived in 1994 version 1.0 was released in 2006. The current version 1.2 was released in 2016. It is available free of charge and is sometimes used by [[PC]] manufacturers as a pre-installed OS when a Windows license would be to expensive and the end user plans to install his or her own system. FreeDOS can be downloaded<ref>http://www.freedos.org/download/ FreeDOS download page</ref> as boot disks or bundled in a distribution together with many open source tools, making it the most sophisticated out of the box DOS system.
