Windows does do some things DOS can't (else nobody would use it, duh), mostly due to more commercial support, more developers, tons of device drivers, etc. As far as using it instead of DOS? Money is the only reason I can think of (maybe fame, too?). There's a large userbase of Windows out there (vs. 3% or so for Mac OS X or whatever for GNU/Linux). Since DOS is commercially dead (more or less), some people refuse to use it. (Or course, they find all kinds of nonsensical reasons to explain their decisions, usually the same old crud that's been a non-issue for years now.)
