DOS ain't dead

Efficiency still counts! (Announce)

Yes, you're right. So, what was the main idea? That the Jack's drivers are the exact opposition of what is known as Bloatware. Bloatware can also be written in Assembler (e.g. Award BIOS etc.) and efficient programs can also be written in C (e.g. 4DOS, MASM and many others). So the issue is not just C vs. Assembly. It's simply that efficiency still counts. It's so obvious that it doesn't need proof. Or if it does, I can't imagine a better proof than Jack's drivers themselves!

The famous German proverb about the 1 million flies and the censored matter can be applied also to the majority who runs DOS only through a virtual machine
