Will the programmed death of DOS affect EX's use?

Hi!
IMAB (I am a beginner) For users of EFL (English as a Foreign Language), the
many shorthands used in the mail are an additional challenge. Not an
unpleasant one, I'd say, but I miss a good many of them.

I am not hostile to MS, nor to qBasic. The death of DOS is now on the wall,
as formerly the CP/M, and what I need is a substitute to qBasic that is
cheap or free and with no professional pretention. I see no personal
necessity for a GUI : I am now learning EX in David Alan Gay's excellent
ABGTE2.

My question is:  shall EX still work in a future environment devoid of DOS
such as Windows Millenium, or am I entering a dead end track?

Thanks for the bit of your time devoted to my question.
