While this is clearly true, it's by no means unusual for people to refer to the "DOS Box" or talk about "DOS commands" etc. even when they're quite well aware of the history of Windows and its Console subsystem. It's just quicker than saying "Console Window" or something. I mention this because it seems to get called out every time someone uses the term "DOS" on this and other Python lists and it can smack slightly of pedantry.
