DOS ‘Edit’ text editor on Vista

Windows August 29th, 2008

Can you believe Microsoft included their famous old ‘Edit’ DOS editor back from 1995 in Windows Vista? That means when they said Windows Vista is backward compatible, they really meant it. I used this long time back when I was learning Pascal programming. This came in as a surprise and sure reminded of the good old days.

You can access Edit file editor the same way you did back then. Open the command prompt (for those who don’t know, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt) and type ‘edit’ (sans quotes) and hit enter and voilĂ !

How do you feel to see the old DOS editor back from time on your new Windows Vista computer? As for me, I felt great! Share your thoughts and if this tool has any emotional values than its use in todays computing world.
