Not for me, though. For me, the next-generation OS will be a 32-bit DOS
like the one I am working on. The only thing that makes me endure Linux
is that it is only a temporary condition.

No, I am not happy with the constraints of Windows and DOS, nor with the
ones of Linux; that was the prime reason for starting my project. Of
course, I would never expect that someone who never used DR-DOS
understands that. Nor do I understand why someone who knows DOS would
prefer to use a clone of an OS of the late sixties instead. But like you
said, to each his own.
