  • It's pretty neat and I like how the whole project conceptually was born out of the same frustrations my Dad had around the same time with software compatibility between Windows NT 3.5 and Windows 3.1/95 working as a system administrator when I was young. I also remember my father messing around in QBasic and the fun programs he'd make for me and my sister, so MS-DOS always was a fascination of mine growing up and it's cool that there is a legitimate way to use something similar that isn't just an emulator, but its own fully functional operating system.
  • It was good.But there are some problems in 1.4 version.Because a lot of the apps in the apps folder from version 1.3 are gone in version 1.4,so I think it's really necessary to add it back after version 1.5 comes out.And I hope this suggestion can be accepted.Thank You:)
