Particular attention is given by FreeDos to include early MS Dos systems operating low powered XTs, ATs, and PCs, 8086, 286, 386, and higher. While older PCs remain, already early versions of MS Dos and "Proprietory" Dos are disappearing.
Since the MS Dos operating system is a known commodity, the developers hope to create a compatible and more power efficient product, with fewer "bugs". These efforts may look like "just another bag of Norton Utilities or PC Tools". However, the FreeDos Kernel and Command.Com is already written. By definition all operating systems have "bags of utilities". Norton and PC Tools utilities were successful only because they were superior to the utilities in MS Dos.

* Freedows Alternative Windows OS Support *.
Freedows is a free OS being developed under the GNU Public License.
It's based on a design that will allow it to run programs from multiple OSes simultaneously.
In the final release, planned for sometime in 1998, we will include full Windows 16- and 32-bit emulation.
This will include both support for Windows 95 applications and for Windows NT applications.
Additionally, we will also provide support for DOS applications, likely through a port of FreeDOS.
Future plans include a Linux AK in Freedows 1.2 (1999) and MacOS in Freedows 2.0 (2000).
In addition, classic systems, such as the Commodore 64 and Tandy CoCo will also have emulations available under Freedows.
