I agree with Tom on this, except that you can't buy DOS for last 8 years.
You CAN still buy DOS 6.22:
two stores in the Netherlands

That's pretty cheap for an OS €31 :P



@gregor: Abandonware can be explained (rather then defined) in Wikipedia allright, but that does not make it the ultimate truth. Fact of the matter is that abandonware as such is not a legal term at all. So as far as the law is concerned, even 20 year old software that you didn't buy is considered warez! The fact that it's old, not being supported or it's rights not actively protected makes it 'abandonware'.
