I don't recall the exact nature of the article (it wasn't specifically about DOS or anything), but it had something about windows no longer providing a DOS shell or such in it's next incarnation. While it could just be a rumour/consideration, it may also be a fact of life that OS's are moving on and dos shells won't be going with them.
