It should be compatible with current systems, for example many people are dual-booting 9x+XP,
so it would be great if DOS could just be installed into a directory on drive C!
That would make triple-booting possible.
It should be able to drive most current devices, such as common sound cards, network cards, graphics cards, CD-ROM drives, USB, etc.
It should be able to handle everyday work like playing games, watching movies, going online, listening to music, editing, programming, and so on.
It should integrate all kinds of well-known DOS software available now, while keeping both Chinese-localized cracked versions and the original English versions,
to leave some room for people who can't use Chinese!
For software with the same function, there should be multiple choices kept:
for example, for Chinese character support systems, all the well-known ones like Tianhui, UCDOS, Dongfang Kuaiche, Xiuzhenlong and so on could all be included!
Then people can choose according to their own preferences.
A lot of fun and small DOS games should also be integrated!
Doing the above would definitely make it very large in size,
but as things are now, as long as it's not on a floppy disk, capacity doesn't seem to be much of a problem anymore!
And it could also boot directly from a CD; of course, filling up 700M would be best,
to make full use of the space!
Also, of course, it should have a graphical interface added on.
I'd like to ask, is the best graphical interface at present Windows 3.2?
The most most most important thing is to write good, detailed documentation!
Write very detailed documentation on the functions, purposes, and usage methods of all kinds of software, so if someone doesn't understand something they can just go look it up.
The loading of various drivers also needs to be explained very clearly,
because DOS isn't like Windows; it has to be changed according to your own machine!
That would be the best!
What I hope for is something with nothing I can't do!
I want to use it to wipe out Windows!

And also, it's best not to load too much stuff, don't make it like Windows!
Where it takes forever and forever just to boot up! Various functions can be loaded manually, that would be much more convenient!
For example, when entering Chinese DOS, it's still better to type TW manually. I don't really like it being loaded automatically at startup.
There are experts everywhere here, I really hope something this good can be made!
Not only practical, it would definitely also be a top collectible for the broad community of DOS enthusiasts!
Because there would be so much good stuff in it, and a lot of DOS programs may not necessarily still be easy to find now!
