Calling the old DOS partioning scheme "Windows partitioning" would not be correct.Don't most partition tools call it MBR vs GPT partition tables? I suppose some of them still call it DOS partitions.
util-linux fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk call it "dos". parted and d-i/partman call it "msdos". gdisk and gnome-disks call it "MBR". So I usually call it DOS/MBR for clarity.
