So-called Linux, DOS, and Windows are nothing more than names.
Someday if some expert develops his own system, he can also name it after himself.
As for saying DOS has extremely low hardware requirements, that’s only in the CPU’s real mode. Didn’t some expert say he wanted to transplant X-Window onto DOS? If that really succeeds, who can guarantee it won’t be slower than Win9x? I think less and less highly of Redhat. 6.2 was pretty good. But by 7.3, if you don’t have 128M of memory, under gnome it’s simply more painful than death.
In fact, no matter how you criticize Microsoft, you have to admit that it was exactly this “junk” in your eyes that changed the whole world, changed our way of life, and changed our traditional definition of computers.
As for your so-called development plan, to an outsider like me it looks like trying to build another Win98, except this Win98 would have to be labeled Made in China and have open source code. If that really is the case, then why bother? I remember an assembly expert once said that in China, quite a few programmers hope to build a personal operating system, and at first they start from DOS, but in the end the vast majority all end up in the Linux circle. That’s because in practice they discover that developing DOS is equivalent to rewriting a new system.
