Trust me this is absolutly NOT true.  I teach Linux at a local 
College and run the local users group.  Many new users are astounded 
at the power of the command line and fall into it right away.  The 
reason most windows users don't touch DOS is two fold.  

Most people teaching windows don't understand DOS and couldn't type a 
command if their life depended on it.  I see it every day.

DOS command line is nothing like unix.  There is almost no point 
in learning it.  Try renaming all your *.com files to *.bat files 
with a graphical file manager.
