Hey guys, you probably noticed, there are other software companies as well, not just Micro$oft!

E.g. russian programmers (they are hell good, ever seen a russian software?) developed long ago the so-called PC-DOS, which supports protected mode, multitasking, it's safe and downwards FULLY compatible ;°)=) with M$ DOS.

I guess it's still downloadable (maybe even for free, or you must pay 10-15 $ for the reg. code) somewhere.

Solution: keep a 512Mb partition on your 60Gb HDD for DOS.
That's what I've done.

P.s.
It's amazing how DOS works on a PIII 800 ;°)).
I'm playing around with older sysinfo programs, made for 486's.
The only one which did not crash on my PIII was a hungarian sysinfo called PIII.
