FreeDOS

My workstation OS: FreeDOS

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.

A Linux guy looks at FreeDOS

FreeDOS was a project started in 1994 to counteract Microsoft\'s stated intentions to do away with MS-DOS and move everyone to Windows. It employs no Microsoft code and is designed to be a work-alike equivalent to MS-DOS.

Do-It-Yourself DOS

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.
