We can add modern OS features (protected memory and multitasking are still quite doable) without jumping to 32-bit code. After all, there obviously already is a 32-bit FreeDOS project, and it wouldn't really make sense to have /two/ 32-bit versions of FreeDOS.I doubt that you will even see one (1) 32-bit version of FreeDOS. Whoever is seriously claiming on working on that just doesn't know what they will get themselves into. MS/PC/DR-/FreeDOS is at its very core 16bit/x86. You get yourself in one development hell if you try to change that. And what advantage does a 32bit FreeDOS supposed to have? What application would you run on it?
