Windows 98 did it for me. It wasn't that bad, but I hated reinstalling because the OS was broken again.

Seeing MS remove DOS mode, moving towards a more 'closed' system, dumbed down, I decided it wasn't a future I wanted to be a part of, so I jumped ship.

Windows 98 still had DOS mode..?

i think you could reboot to dos.

Actually yeah! Last one to ship whas Me, but it was hidden. In 98se you still could press F8 at boot to acces DOS mode and skip autoexec.bat, or you could just "Reboot into DOS". Its boot floppies where also very useful, because it was DOS with CDROM drivers included.
