Thank you for your input. For one I am a beginner, but they did have Bilboard groups right? And was voice over network such a big issue to develop for DOS os?In any case I think they could have build these things within DOS, if they had sustainability in mind. But rather they had money in mind. Cap

You are making one basic but important mistake in

Not really - it depends on software side too. And maybe even more on the

Thanks! Interesting! However I forgot to mention one great benefit of Freedos: the games. Some of those other systems may give access to games but the games will be using way more resources than DOS games. And if they can run DOSbox than DOSbox will ask for more resources (1Ghz CPU). The stuff that

I am coming from a neo-luddism standpoint which is not anti tech but tech-sceptic. I would like to see an OS that can do all the essential stuff with 25 year old hardware.Because I see the constant careless dismissal of well functioning hardware and decent software, which costed massive amounts of
