I multiboot FreeDOS on my modern laptop alongside linux, Plan 9, and BSD. It is by far the fastest OS I have used. What do I do? I run Ability Office (No cost but non-free :( ), OpenGEM, and edit, or elvis when I am needing more power. I do a little programming. I also boot into DOS when I need a distraction free environment (non-multitasking.) With GEM, I have to boot DOS in safe mode, because otherwise I will get a blank white screen. I am new to DOS, but I am into old software, so it is already taken an important place on my hard-disk. I haven't set it up with interent, it is sort of my "digital monastary" if you know what I mean.
