In battles over operating system superiority, emotions run high. Capabilities are assembled like armies and run out on discussion boards to face the flames. So let me say this now: your operating system is probably better than mine. Most modern operating systems are better than FreeDOS when considered by any objective criteria. FreeDOS doesn't multitask, doesn't surf the Internet easily, isn't great for multimedia productions, and doesn't even do Windows. But I love it anyway.

In the January, 2001 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal there is an
article about using DOS in an embedded system. There is a
comparison of interrupt-latency times (interrupt disabling
while access the disk), and FreeDOS comes out ahead
with very low times.

The goal of the FreeDOS Project is to create a free implementation of MS-DOS. DOS is a popular system, and there is plenty of hardware out there that supports DOS. The FreeDOS Project was founded in
1994 by Jim Hall.

Development Status
|
Very active. The site is up to date. Not as bad as most of the other free operating systems that seem to have sunk into oblivion. Still does not
have multitasking, protected mode. Works under DosEmu.
