As much as I'd like to stick up for you, I can't.  DOS is still there, it's
just very well hidden.  Those long files names?  They're aren't really
there, Microsoft just cheated a little to get them.  Try this.  Find the
msdos.sys file.  Take off the hidden, system, and read-only flags.  Change
the line,  "BootGUI=1" to "BootGUI=0".  Save it and replace the flags.
Reboot and see where you end up.....good old DOS.  Type "win" and see what
happens.  Windows 95 runs on top of it.
