FreeDOS Not Dead; 1.0 Release Imminent

Lisa writes "Jim Hall, creator of the open source MS-DOS operating system project FreeDOS, says that while work on the project may have slowed recently, he isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. In fact, Hall says he hopes to see version 1.0 released as soon as the end of the month." (So rumors to the contrary can be safely ignored.)

so Sens youv got. nothin beter too dew then ignoure teh relivant parts-of-teh-post, and fokiss ownly on typographikal errs er othar misstaekes; then heers a hole "mesage four, you two tier apart. Hav phun. O, & Git a liefe looser. You correctly used two periods and one comma. That's a little careless, but my main concern is that, aside from the surrounding punctuation, there are six words in that message which are both correctly spelled and correctly used. Now, because some of the smaller words like 'a', 'on' and 'and' can be somewhat difficult to misspel, I was prepared to cut you a little slack. But you failed to misuse 'your' in place of 'you', and correctly spelled 'apart'. That's just sloppy.

Maybe they should start moving towards a graphical interface, then they're only 12 years behind of Microsoft and 20 behind Apple...
