What is "dos"

alt. (plural of do English) n. (plural of do English)

DOS is a family of operating systems for x86-based computers, most commonly IBM PC-compatibles.

DOS may also refer to:

Dos (from the Spanish word for "two") is an American rock group composed of Mike Watt and Kira Roessler, who both sing and play bass guitar. Critic Greg Prato describes their unusual instrumentation as "a haunting yet intriguing and original sound."

Both performers have substantial experience in pioneering punk groups: Watt has been a member of The Reactionaries, Minutemen, Firehose, Banyan and the reunited lineup of The Stooges, while Roessler was in Black Flag for about two years.

Dos is the second album of Latin rap artist Gerardo. It was released on September 15, 1992 on Interscope Records. Unlike Mo' Ritmo, Gerardo's Dos was critically panned. Alex Henderson, for instance, wrote that "[t]his sophomore effort was a disappointment." Likewise, Ron Wynn from Allmusic said in regards to Gerardo trying to follow up to the same success of Mo' Ritmo, "that you can only ride a fluke so long."

However, the album contains "Ven Michu Michu", a Spanish version of "Here Kitty Kitty", also from the album. A video was made for the song, and it is one of Gerardo's better known songs.

Dos was the first album recorded by the band Dos. It is a double bass guitar side project for Mike Watt (of the Minutemen and Firehose) and his then-girlfriend (later wife), Kira Roessler (from Black Flag). Formed as a vehicle to take the bass beyond its perceived background role and into the forefront of a band, Dos also became a therapeutic experience in the wake of Roessler's departure from Black Flag and, more tragically, Minutemen D. Boon's sudden death on December 22, 1985. After exchanging demos for the better part of 1986 (Roessler had moved to Connecticut), the duo reconvened to record their self-titled debut late in the year, subsequently releasing it on Watt's own New Alliance Records.

Dos (English: Two) is the title of the second album by Colombian Pop and Vallenato singer, Fanny Lu. The album was released in Colombia on December 8, 2008, and in the United States and Puerto Rico the following week. In Colombia, Dos went straight to number one in the album charts in its debut week. The album features the lead single and the official song of the year in Colombia, "Tú No Eres Para Mi" (You Are Not For Me).

MS-DOS dominated the IBM PC compatible(PC and PC Compatible) market between 1981 and 1995, or until about 2001 including the partially MS-DOS-based Microsoft Windows ( 95, 98, and Millennium Edition). "DOS" is used to describe the family of several very similar command-line systems, including MS-DOS, PC DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, ROM-DOS, and PTS-DOS.

In spite of the common usage, none of these systems were simply named "DOS" (a name given only to an unrelated IBM mainframe operating system in the 1960s). A number of unrelated, non- x86 microcomputer disk operating systems had "DOS" in their names, and are often referred to simply as "DOS" when discussing machines that use them (e.g. AmigaDOS, AMSDOS, ANDOS, Apple DOS, Atari DOS, Commodore DOS, CSI-DOS, ProDOS, and TRSDOS). While providing many of the same operating system functions for their respective computer systems, programs running under any one of these operating systems would not run under others.

Dos is the second album by Latin rock band Malo, released in 1972.

Dos (Two), also known as Myriam Hernández 2, is the title of the second studio album released by Chilean singer Myriam Hernández on November 23, 1989. The album became very successful in Latin America and the United States where it peaked at number-one in the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart. The album includes two number-one singles by Hernández, " Te Pareces Tanto a Él" and " Peligroso Amor", and her self-penned top ten hit "Herida". Dos was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards.

Dos was produced by Humberto Gatica and features songs written by Gogo Muñoz, Alberto Plaza, Vilma Planas, Alvaro Torres, Juan Carlos Duque and by the performer herself. Hernández wrote the songs "Herida" and "Que No". The album singles produced several international hits that spent several weeks at number one of the rankings in the continent. This album also marked a record in the Latin Pop Albums in the United States by staying at number-one for 18 consecutive weeks.

"Herida" was covered by Brenda K. Starr in a salsa version which reached number-one on the Latin Tropical Airplay chart; Mexican singer Lidia Ávila also recorded her rentidion in a cumbia version; and Brazilian singer Daniel also released his take on the track. Hernández recorded the song "Mira", co-written with Juan Carlos Calderón, on her self-titled 1992 album as a follow-up for the song. The music video for "Peligroso Amor" was produced by Luis De Llano and received a nomination for the Billboard Best Latin Video award. Dos sold 15,000 units in Chile in less than two weeks of release, and was awarded with a Gold album certification. The success of this album resulted in a recording contract with Warner Music México, but the contract ended because of the limited success of her next album and disagreements between the label and the singer.
