DOS not DOA?

Just when you thought it was safe to install NT...News.com is reporting that Microsoft has another DOS based operating system in the works, to be released sometime in the year 2000. This is contrary to previous reports that their next consumer OS would be based around an NT kernel, and not DOS based. Regarding whether it'll be a new version of Win98 or something entirely different seems to be in dispute, as the article has conflicting reports:

Microsoft, in fact, seems to be debating the issue itself. While Ballmer called the OS a "new version" of Windows 98, a Windows product manager placed it in a "new generation" category.

"Don't think of it as a new version of Windows 98," said Mike Nichols, a Windows product manager. The upcoming OS will be based on the same code, but will contain a number of new features, he said.
