FreeDOS VS Virtual Windows 98

Interesting MS-DOS history to be uncovered. FreeDOS, an open source DOS clone, has been around for a while: https://freedos.org/ https://github.com/FDOS. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

I wonder if that machine can run FreeDOS. Source: 12 months ago

Some kind of VM with no sharing or network access... VirtualBox, Bottles, or your host of choice... Install DOS (FreeDOS or whatever you wish I guess). Source: about 1 year ago

Then there is FreeDOS, which also isn't Linux, but it is still open source and a lots of fun to use. Source: over 1 year ago

You know you are absolutely right. I’m going back to DOS. Source: over 1 year ago

> As a thought experiment, we're almost there! We could technically have `win95.img + bochs86vm.wasm + autorun.inf + msword.exe` wrapped in a "browser evaluator" I looked into this and... Holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing. You can use Windows 2000 from your browser. https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows2000. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

It's great that someone is trying to preserve these operating systems. However the choice of limiting it to 1 user per OS at a time makes the museum/website unusable. I tried several times over the span of 20 minutes and couldn't get into a single VM. While it doesn't cover everything, there is no shortage of browser-based emulators that can run most of the software listed. Windows 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
