Sorry but I still don't find the above comments very reassuring, with regard to the future usability of (Free)DOS on new hardware. The fact that we will be able to run DOS in emulators/virtual machines, because we can no longer boot it, is no reason at all for being reassured. In fact, such a state of affairs is rather sad and paradoxical, and in such a scenario I don't even see the point of using DOS in the first place (apart from running DOS games). To me, at least, DOS is something that today is still useful because it gives you control over the machine, it is lean and unbloated, and provides you with a simple, uncluttered environment. Now, if we have to resort to using a virtual machine for running DOS, this frankly seems to defeat the purpose. So, alas, my fears stand.
