MS-DOS is an operating system by Microsoft.
History
Seattle Computer Products released 86-DOS in August 1980. It was licensed and then purchased by Microsoft.
Microsoft extended it into PC DOS for IBM, which was first released in August 1981, then further into MS-DOS, which was first released in November 1987.
After those releases, DOS became a common shorthand for those operating systems and those that are compatible with them.
