Office like applications and fonts disagree. DOS was annoying, Windows was pretty.

You just had to run the dos program of the office like tool you wanted and you had same GUI apps. Just was one app at a time, as it wasn't a Windowed environment.

Office wasn't in use as much back then, that was still Lotus and WordPerfect territory. DOS was ok if you knew how to really use it, and it took some learning. I've always been a simplicity over fancy UI kind of guy though, so maybe it was just me.
