iOS is more "accessible" and "easy to understand" then Win95. You can be damn sure that I'll choose Win95 over iOS 100% of the time.

I'd choose MS-DOS over iOS anytime. And over Windows 8 for that matter.

I second that.

[Torisakia]

I second that.

At least with MS-DOS you wouldn't have to scramble around for files and such.

Let's not exaggerate here.

Just because it hasn't been supported for almost 15 years doesn't mean it isn't better.

It doesn't even have a GUI. Nor can I do any of the things I do on a computer with DOS.
Lol you're not a very good troll.

1. MS-DOS was launched 1981, GUI wasn't a thing.
2. Without MS-DOS framework, your computer wouldn't be able to execute anything.

1: I'd rather have no GUI than W8's GUI.
2: That hasn't been true since Windows NT replaced it in Windows 2000.

1. I know that.
2. What Bezombia said.

Who gives a damn if it was released 33 years ago?
It doesn't change the fact that it is totally unsupported, and doesn't have a GUI.

Have you ever used it? Just because it doesn't look shiny and new doesn't mean it isn't one of the best damn operating systems ever released.

By today's standards, and for what I use it sucks ass.
Just because it was amazing at release doesn't make it amazing now.

Again, have you ever used it?
It's just as resourceful (if not moreso) than Windows 9x/NT, and miles and miles ahead of Windows 8 (which, for all intents and purposes, is really just Windows CE)

I can't do 3D Renders on it.

I can't use UE4 or UDK on it.

I can't play games on it.

I can't play games on it.

Just because the operating system itself is text-based doesn't mean graphical programs can't run in it.
How do you think 3D games worked before Windows came out?

I still can't use UE4 or UDK on it.

I'm sure you could if you really tried.

No, not really.
Nor can I use remote desktop connect, and DOS doesn't have Hyper-V either.

I suppose if you aren't actually going to use your computer than you might want something more specialized, but that's a strange niche and really not that notable.

Let me tell you why UEx and in general games won't work.

No Direct X 10 or 11.

Naw.
Not enough support.
I'm pretty sure that UEx doesn't have Open GL support.
And a whole load of others.

[Torisakia]

I can't play games on it.

Doom? Quake? Wolfenstein 3D?

I can go on forever.

Take when it was released and what games were out at the time.

Might make your claims sound even more ridiculous.

Maybe if you have six of them all on one board in a hex-Crossfire setup you might be able to get 30 FPS on Crysis 3
