Sorry, but I don't see a point that you're trying to make, except that you are DOS, windows 3.x, windows 9X and XP expert from the usage without even knowing how the stuff works. But that does not stop you to assume that DOS in Win98 was just stripped down version of original DOS, even if everything else tells different.
And just for your info, boot disks were nothing different then other DOS configuration. Remember what DOS abbreviation is for??
And Microsoft didn't kill the DOS, but gaming companies which moved to windows and something called directX, which made their life much easier.
Just imagine writing the code that does not care what's your soundcard or video card?!
