How does a retailer choose between DOS and Windows POS software?
A Windows may be what is most familiar to a lot people, and DOS still has an image of being complicated or unfriendly. But to look more friendly, Windows had to be built using much more complicated processes, so it is sometimes slower and less reliable than DOS. This is sometimes apparent in a multi-user setup where DOS software running on a Novell network still does the work faster than Windows software on a Windows network. Our DOS systems are actually quite a bit faster for the fairly small business to use so unless you actually need the Windows system for some reason, look hard at the DOS system first. Our DOS systems also have a similar look and feel to the newer Windows systems.
