schestowitz | Indeed. One of the things I noticed when I started playing with FreeDOS was that it can't even run the installer/extractor for the latest build of OpenWatcom. Easy to reproduce crash in that 32-bit DOS extender app. BTW, the author of DOS/4GW died last year. Biggest closed piece. | Nov 25 17:23 |

schestowitz | I mean DOS4GW.EXE is the biggest and only closed-source component of Open Watcom / FreeDOS. There are other drop-in replacements, and I'd prefer the project switch to one of those at some point. The author dying is a part of the damage caused by closed source, proprietary code. | Nov 25 17:23 |

schestowitz | At least MS-DOS is small enough that it's feasible to have a GPL open-source clone/successor OS that can run all the games and apps that nostalgia geeks like to run on their old 486 boxes. | Nov 25 17:24 |

schestowitz | Honestly, I think Windows is too complex to clone properly, beyond what Wine has done, after decades of development. It's good enough of a clone to run games and quite a number of office apps, but it's too big to clone completely. That's why I got curious about FreeDOS. | Nov 25 17:24 |

schestowitz | If the Oracle v. Google lawsuit isn't reversed (again), and APIs are deemed copyrightable, then the pendulum on IP will have moved in a direction not seen since Lotus won their "look and feel" lawsuit against a competitor to 1-2-3 (which they put out of business with the suit). | Nov 25 17:24 |

schestowitz | I think the strongest points against Microsoft are that it's bad to have a single supplier of critical infrastructure who abuses IP law (copyrights & patents) and FUD to push out competitors. That's all you have to say. They're not also putting in backdoors on purpose for spies. | Nov 25 17:24 |
