This is the day that the April Fool flourish, and while some companies are taking the opportunity to joke about gadgets, and other more or less serious and launching real products. The Pac-Man layer of Google for Google Maps is very funny. And, if you have not visited com.google today, you really should do it.
Microsoft, meanwhile, goes to the essential. It provides MS-DOS to Windows Phone devices.
There is an article and a video on the Nokia Conversations blog, talking about the benefits of an operating system based text, and on modern hardware.

Install the application DOS Mobile on a Windows Phone device, and you'll be greeted by a command prompt C: \. Enter popular commands such as cd to navigate between files, and if you go to the Program Files folder, you will even find that you can launch applications by typing camera.exe, SMS.EXE or Phone.exe to see textual versions of these applications.
The MS-DOS camera will even allow you to take pictures using ASCII art. By launching Internet.exe, you will launch the default browser ... but not having heard the sound of an old sound of the telephone modem.
