Not useless, really. For example, MS-DOS 5 introduced their DOS Shell that
supported task switching, a rudimentary form of multitasking.
I used to use this feature all the time as a student: for example, to run a
word processor and spreadsheet program as separate tasks. I think I usually had
a command.com shell in there too. That let me write up my data analysis for
labs much faster, because I could quickly jump back to the spreadsheet or my
own analysis program to look at results, then describe it using the word
processor.
I'd love to see this as a feature added to FreeDOS one day.
