WOW!!! 😲

Microsoft really just made MS-DOS 4.0 open source.

This is 38-year-old operating system. Why should anyone care?

For one thing, people have been trying to make an open source version of DOS for decades. FreeDOS is the most well-known example of this. And now, suddenly, the actual MS-DOS is open source.

But also, DOS gamers are going to love this. Right now, people are using emulators for most DOS games. But how cool will it be to use FPGA and tweak the OS for a better experience?
