perhaps i am "nobody" then. opinions aside, i do think windows 3.11 compatibility should be their 1.0 benchmark. yes i have run windows over freedos, BUT you have to use MS dos to get it working properly, because DR-DOS installs properly for windows, only when windows is already installed! i had to install ms dos, then ms windows, then install dr dos, telling it where windows was (i think) then just deletd the MSDOS directory. then i also copied a bunch of stuff over from freeDOS because they have a bunch of linux style commands like ls that i simply couldn't get my head around not having. i also installed vim and freemacs i think. in fact come to think of it i was trying my best to get my windows installation to be as much like a linux as possible, that was the experiment. but on a computer with 75MHz CPU and only a couple of hundred MB HDD, there's no modern linux you can install (though i did dual boot it (well, used loadlin) with the brilliant basiclinux, not sure if it's still alive, or still brilliant though) and i think freeDOS and MSwindows (with the calmira 2 UI over the top of it) would be the perfect combination for a free-as-it's-going-to-get MS windows OS. if i could have got the CD player to recognise, and maybe some sort of networking then it really would have been a contender, especially if it had been freeDOS instead of DR DOS, but there you go, perhaps in another fourteen years, eh?
