"Command Prompt" existed in early to mid-1990s for Windows NT lines operating systems. MS-DOS did not "become" cmd, it was simply diminished after Windows NT-based systems started to take over the mainstream in early 2000s.

I downloaded a Windows 95 "image" of a floppy disk once, thinking it was a full install, and believe that what I actually came across was a boot disk. It only said it was starting Windows 95, but would just boot to the C: prompt. I could be mistaken, but was this boot disk actually a full DOS 7? It has Edit and a lot of other DOS programs and commands, although I'm not sure if it's all those that would exist in DOS 7 separate from the Windows 95 system it comes with. I mean, I don't know if that DOS 7 on the boot disk could launch any DOS program I throw at it and do all the things DOS 7 can, but am o correct that a Windows 95 boot disk os essentially DOS 7, or in essence, perhaps DOS 7 Lite?

Version 3.30 was still capped at 32MB. 2. Some screenshots you included for 7.0 and 7.1 are from an unofficial disassembled stand-alone version, and should be noted as such.
