you started this thread with
"Your challenge is to produce a 32-bit competitor to MSDOS "

now you step up the competition and go after Windows. Wow.

I am fairly certain that - should such a company ever exist - it will certainly not start from a more or less buggy '32 Bit clone' of MSDOS and put all the required multitasking stuff on top.

The software industry simply doesn't work this way.
