There would appear to be a level of tacit contentment. The goal of FreeDOS was to make a free DOS. The goal has been reached. In operating system terms, DOS is a quiet backwater with comparatively little more happening than is required to keep waterbirds feeding, crocodiles sunbaking and slowly-rotting houseboats bobbing. O/S development has moved off interstate or interplanet.
FreeDOS is a looking-back to the good old days. There's no screaming need to do the Steve Jobs "Completely New!!" thing anymore. Kind regards, Bruce. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Villani Sent: Thursday, 25 October 2007 7:46 AM To: freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] A Poll of sorts Interestingly enough, a lot of responses seem not care about new development. Some even go as far as saying that whatever we have for dos extenders, memory managers, etc., is good enough. Does this mean that there is no new development expected from the majority of FreeDOS developers?
