    I don’t know where new, pro-labor FOSS microsoft is coming from, but I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m sure the freeDOS maintainers are absolutely thrilled

    Still none of the actually good versions of MS-DOS, like 3.3, 6.22, or 7.10. They try to virtue signal that they care about historical preservation and open source and they can’t even do that right.

    MS-DOS 4.0 was like the Windows ME or Vista of its day. People just stuck to 3.3 because of how bad it was.

    Ok that isn’t in the list of the things I expected for this year.

    FAT32 is still the best FS, I must say!

        It’s obviously superior to FAT31
