Huh?! EFI is NOT DOS. EFI is yet another runtime environment that happens to
usually have a command line for an interface, but there are non command line
apps for it, like a full screen editor.

EFI IS NOT DOS.
EFI is not Unix. EFI is not Windows. EFI is EFI.
I don't think EFI has a notion of processes, but you can load files and jump
into them.

"command line" != "DOS"
Windows NT cmd.exe is not DOS.
Windows 9x console, maybe it is somewhat DOS, I don't know.
