   Apparently stopbuggingme and Pegusis2 don't understand the concept of what FreeDOS aims to do. Whatever your reason is for using DOS, whether to play old DOS games, run old DOS applications, etc., FreeDOS beats the ever-living hell out of MS-DOS. Think DOS, but with more memory, tools, etc. If you're about making an old games machine, like I did, definitely give FreeDOS a try.

   Cool, but feel that the boot stuff should be able to read/write NTFS natively, handle partitioning of large volumes in both FAT 32 and NTFS and be fairly smart about memory management like Dos 5.x and 6.x were.
   
   Still, at least it's out there and it works. :)

   DOS was not developed by a for profit company moron, it was stolen by one.
   
   Actually, FreeDOS has MANY uses if you are savy and especially has a use where I work....not for a user OS but a much more technical purpose. Dont review something if you dont know how to use it or have never used it or dont understand the usefulness of a lightweight OS.
   
   It is also useful to dual boot with a small dos drive just in case you need to run any old dos apps that wont work right with DOSBox. Especially if you are on a 64 bit OS.

   - It's an imitation of software developed by a for-profit company that paid its engineers for their work.
   - It's increased to 100 times its original size
   - It's 10 years too late
   
   Yep. Sounds like open source to me.

   WHY? Why would we want another Dirty Operating System? Why? That's like worse then going back to Windows 3.1...
