The GUI interface is NT, also despite MS saying it isn't, but the
underlying system is still a text DOS like environment with text
command lines and text error messages. Sometimes you can overrun the
DOS command line by having directories that are too nested and
various other indicators show up from time to time.

The GUI has to communicate with a shell using some medium and that
medium looks exactly like MsDOS. THE DOS command interpreter is only
hidden better than before.


The "DOS shell" is not related to this.

There is no DOS from XT onward. There is no "DOS command line." The kernel
is completely different from DOS.

In the newer OSes, there is a DOS Emulator (it works like DOS on steroids),
but, again, there is NO DOS CODE in the underlying kernel.

And those that say there is need to look at what underpins UNIX and
all it's variants. It is all text based too - all kinds of command
lines - but definitely NOT DOS.
