DOS ain't dead

Baremetal OS (Users)

I tested newer version on my machine and all examples seems to work OK except the mouse in GUI - e.g. when I run CD player. Mouse sensitivity is set too high and it's very jumpy. I can move cursor right and up with some effort of slow movement but I cannot move left and down - it jumps all around.

I see the big disadvantage that I cannot run existing DOS programs under dos2x.
And if there are no programs the OS can be the best but is still dead.
If it could temporarly switch back to DOS when req. dos program it would be better. For this reason I'd rather keep loading from dos so user can start it later.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
