Microsoft Shares MS-DOS Source Code

Early tech fans might remember the good 'ol days of Microsoft MS-DOS, the company's first operating system from the 1980s. Now, with the help of the Computer History Museum, Microsoft is making the source code for DOS available to the public for the first time ever. Get excited, hackers.

The Computer History Museum, based in Mountain View, Calif., is making MS DOS 1.1, 2.0 and Word 1.1a available to help fans and technologists better understand the history of computing.

Microsoft announced the move in a blog post on its website and detailed the early beginnings of the iconic software.

Following the first DOS-based version of Microsoft Word in 1983, Word for Windows launched in 1989 and become a huge hit for the company. It generated over half the revenue of the worldwide word-processing market, according to Microsoft.

"Thanks to the Computer History Museum, these important pieces of source code will be preserved and made available to the community for historical and technical scholarship," a company said in a statement.

All New Toyota Etios Cross

Toyota, taking a cue from the Volkswagen Cross Polo, has unveiled the 2014 Toyota Etios Cross in India during the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. Essentially the Etios Liva with some added body cladding, the Etios Cross is an alternative for those who want their car to have the looks of a crossover but do not want to spend a lot on buying a proper one. 

The Etios Cross, even with the body cladding is about 100mm short of the 4-metre mark, making it eligible for the excise duty benefits that such cars get, meaning that the car would be priced pretty aggressively. Along with the body cladding, upholstery changes on the inside, the Etios Cross will get three engine options, a lot of features and Toyota’s proven reliability.

Design

The 2014 Toyota Etios Cross gets a new, more-butch look as compared to the Etios Liva, the company hopes that this will attract more people towards it. Apart from the obvious black plastic cladding all around the car, the Etios Cross gets a silver ‘grille guard’, silver side mouldings on top of the black plastic and silver guards on the front and rear bumper. You also get silver roof rails. The headlamp is different, the indicator is now sifted from the headlamp unit and placed above the fog lamps, you get a new grille which is much bigger and less curvy than the one on the hatchback. The rear-roof spolier is also a new addition to the car. The Etios Cross also gets a black plastic moulding on the bottom of the hatch-door with Etios Cross embossed on it. The last differentiating factor on the outside are the new 15-inch alloy wheel design.

The 2014 Toyota Etios Cross gets all black interiors to go with the sporty theme of the car. The plastic around the centre console, door trimming, over the instrument cluster etc are finished in piano black plastic, while the fabric used on the seats, doors etc. are black. The 3-spoke steering wheel is black with silver inserts, the gear-lever gets the same treatment as well.
