Wait a minute. The guy asks a legitimate question, probably not having seen articles on FreeDOS before, and get modded down. Someone responds with a "Because" and he gets modded up to 4?? You've got to be kidding me. I'd like somebody to honestly explain how this voting system is being used as it was intended.

The "why" was probably considered to be offensive, since it's usually asked in relation to non-mainstream software.

It's often asked in relation to BeOS, SkyOS, minor Linux distributions etc., Syllable OS, AROS, AmigaOS, MorphOS and so on. Usually extended to: (Why!? Why don't they just stick to Windows/Linux/BSD/Mac whatever mainstream)

There is no "why" in here.
