Dr. DOS Still 'Doing It' At 8.0

An anonymous reader writes "Believe it or not, DOS -- DR-DOS, no less -- is still alive and kicking after all these years! Devicelogics, a company founded by former executives of Caldera and Lineo in Utah, says it has begun shipping version 8.0 of DR-DOS today. The company says the most significant enhancement in the latest version of this long-lived (and 'stable') operating system is support for FAT32 large partitions, enabling DR-DOS 'to keep up with market demand for DOS-based embedded solutions built on FAT32 platforms.'"

    Do we hate DR-DOS or like it this week? Caldera is SCO now right? So these are guys that used to work for the company that became SCO? So, we should hate DR-DOS... I think.
