Can't the built-in MS-DOS on the computer be used?

DOS stands for freedom, openness and progress. Let us work hard, learn from the openness and GNU spirit of FreeDOS and Linux, and together build and grow a free GNU GPL world!



The following is quoted from Wengier's post at 2004-3-30 5:43:06:That's not how it was......after MS released MS OS/2 1.31 it withdrew from OS/2 development, then took the OS/2 source code it had plus its own Win 3.1 source code and turned that into Win NT 3.1.......and originally win nt 3.1 wasn't called win nt 3.1..
MS was originally preparing to release MS OS/2 3.0, but later renamed and modified it into Windows NT 3.1 and released that..

Roy:You're the one who's wrong. Don't you know the agreement IBM and MS reached at the time? Originally IBM was supposed to release OS/2 2.0, and then MS was supposed to release OS/2 3.0. But later MS did not release OS/2 3.0. Instead, it modified and updated the earlier MS OS/2 1.x it had and released that as the first version of WinNT. Since the Windows version at the time was 3.1, and part of the Win3.1 code was also added, this version of WinNT was also given the name 3.1, but its actual positioning was basically the same thing as the originally planned OS/2 3.0.
