Why remove DOS for a Dell PC

A friend wants to work as a medical transcriptionist from her home. The company she wants to work for stated to her that she must remove DOS off of her Dell PC in order to qualify to do this type of work for them.  Her Dell PC is about 2 or 3 years old.

Questions:
1. Can DOS be removed from her PC?
2. What effect will it have on using MS Windows on her PC?
3. What benefit will be achieved by removing DOS from a PC.
4. Will removal of DOS effect any other programs, like MS Office or Facebook.  

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I appreciate all of your responses. Most of the responses added to my knowledge of this subject. I distributed the points across many answers because all were helpful but some were more explanitory to me.
Thank you Ldufresne19.  I hope your friend can cut through all this nonsense with the company requirements and start earning money.
