Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs

Posted by timothy on from the on-again-off-again-baker's-man dept.

Zed writes "Showing a distancing of itself from Microsoft, Dell now offers businesses a chance to purchase computers without a Windows operating system. The N-Series computers start at $319 from Dell's website and ship with a FreeDOS CD in the box."

    Back in the real world, FreeDOS is about as useful as a deep-freeze in the Arctic circle.

    Actually DOS is still widely used... mainly on POS systems; take a closer look at those computerized cash registers next time you waltz into Kroger.

    I disagree; the 400SC is a great PC and can frequently be had for $350 or less
