OSNews, Generic OSes FreeDos has been declared dead, and the homepage been moved to Sourceforge. From the FreeDos.org site: "On 28 June 1994, the project that became FreeDOS was announced to the world. It's 12 years later, we still haven't reached "1.0", and there's no sign of getting there anytime soon. I have given up. I've stopped waiting for "1.0". FreeDOS is dead." You can still see the message if your DNS servers haven't been updated yet.

"I think Dosbox uses FreeDOS for some things."

Maybe. But I prefer true DOS without silly things
like EMUs or BOXes.

And, FreeDOS is not dead. It was a delayed April's fool.
