Bit Mapped Graphics (06/14/2011)
... When a system operates at its limits, putting as many dots on the screen as it is physically capable of handling, the number of dots and the number of pixels are the same. Often, however, systems operate with somewhat less sharpness than they are capable of, with the result that one pixel may be made from several onscreen dots. The most straightforward way of handling the information to be displayed on such a screen is to assign some part of memory to each pixel, just as two bytes are given over to each character of a character mapped display. In the PC scheme of things, because the data controlling each pixel is stored as one or more memory bits, this kind of display system is often called bit-mapped graphics. Alternately, because each pixel or point on the video screen can be separately addressed through memory, this method of controlling the video display is often called all points addressable graphics or an APA display....

It was incredibly reliable and seemed to be the future of PC operating systems, but in 1991 Microsoft and IBM parted ways....

DOS Extenders (05/31/2010)
... The acceptance of protected mode operating systems has made DOS extenders superfluous if not obsolete. Most applications that use DOS extenders typically have "386" in their names-for example Paradox 386 or AutoCAD 386-indicating they are part of the 386 generation, and they have disappeared from the market-out of place in a world dominated by Intel's Pentium. Moreover, programs specifically written to use OS/2 or Windows have access to extended memory without the need for a built-in DOS extender. (Of course, programs written for OS/2 or Windows are not DOS applications but OS/2 or Windows applications). The larger expanses of extended memory add greater potential for program problems....
