Now even Linux is being suppressed very hard by Microsoft, and can only retreat into specialized fields. Actually Linux was never designed for personal computers at all, so if it wants to enter the desktop field it has to carry out a thorough revolution! The software under Linux has also become full of commercial stink now, and its backward file structure and system structure can no longer compare with XP. Very few big companies are developing big programs for it anymore. MAC too has been forced by Microsoft to change its face and seek another path for development. Actually MAC is backward too, even though it used to be ahead before. It’s just that Mac is good at packaging itself; after using it for a long time you’ll find it’s not as easy to use as Windows. DOS seems to have long been abandoned by the times. Its most fatal weakness is that there is no interface between drivers and the operating system, so everything is fragmented and every side fights on its own. Programs are simply incompatible with each other, and there isn’t even any data transfer capability. I think there is no need for it to keep developing anymore, especially for personal computers. The current FreeDOS32 is developing in the direction of a microkernel, for use in embedded devices. I’m actually a complete DOS enthusiast too, otherwise why would I come here. I’ve been using computers since 1996, so I have some qualifications, but facts cannot be changed after all. The IT field develops very fast; if you fall behind, you get eliminated. Right now I mainly use DOS for diagnostics. DOS is still okay for that, and its compatibility is strong. As for other things like multimedia and networking, they’re simply out of the question.
