Maybe someday someone will write a DOSEMU that works
like
DOS, and a WINE that
actually executes Windows App's. That would go a long way to
ending the MS
monopoly on user-friendly, and make it possible for 3rd-party
application
developers to get up some applicatons that really work.
Heh -- I'm sure M$ has a monopoly on something, but it certainly
isn't "user-friendly..." Even if you define user-friendly as
"acting just like windows," there are a few other things around,
regrettably, that do that these days.
That aside, though, have you tried Wine recently? It's coming
along nicely, and DOSEMU looks a lot like DOS to me.
Did you mean to single DOS out as being "user-friendly?" I ask
because it doesn't strike me as exceptionally so...
