Meet the man introducing Gen Z to DOS RetroTechWeek
We also talked about some of the directions the project might take in the future. Today, laptop manufacturers in some countries bundle FreeDOS with new machines in order to keep the price to customers as low as possible… so people are still seeing DOS for the first time, even today, and some of them keep using it, even if only to improve their skills. ®
I was not a big fan of Windows. I always thought it was kind of clunky when one app could take down the whole system. And so I'm like, you know, as an undergraduate student, if the next version of Windows – if Windows 3.2 or 4.0 is anything like Windows 3.
So we have like a beta 9, service release 1 and service release 2 and a service release to hotfix 1 and we really walked our way slowly up to 1.0. And so yeah, we finally did do a 1.0. Now we had I would say pretty fast releases in those alphas and betas, you know, we were releasing pretty quickly but after 1.0, you know, things slowed down because we had a pretty stable system at that point. So you know, I looked it up that 1.0 was back in 2006.
So back in around the 2012. That's where we solidify that we really have like, three, maybe four core use cases. You know, people are not surprisingly using FreeDOS to play a lot of great classic games. And people are using FreeDOS to run, you know, like legacy software. And actually in 2012 we actually found more people that were doing that, like work-related, people were actually telling us I'm using FreeDOS to run an embedded system, or I'm using it to run whatever thing.
And then a lot of people said I know virtually nothing about DOS, I am completely new to DOS. And I think what that probably means is we're probably getting a lot of people who are learning about DOS more recently. I get a lot of emails from people and we get a lot of emails, you know, questions on the the mailing list or on our Facebook group or Twitter or whatever else, Mastodon now, but they were clearly from people that didn't really know much about DOS.
