aka Freedows '98 —(not to be confused with FreeDOS) Stumble over the website a couple of months back. An open source OS project based on the A Caching Model of Operating System Kernel Functionality by David R. Cheriton and Kenneth J. Duda · Computer Science Department · Stanford University. The OS would be able to run applications from many different OSes, even those based on completely different processors and hardware, like the Macintosh or Amiga. Development of Freedows OS started in 1996 · Project Lead Reece Sillin. “In our final release, planned for sometime in 1998, we will include full Windows 16 and 32 Bit emulation. This will include both support for Windows '95 applications and for Windows NT applications. Additionally, we will also provide support for DOS applications, likely through a port of FreeDOS. Future plans include a Linux AK in Freedows 1.2 (1999) and MacOS in Freedows 2.0 (2000). In addition, classic systems, such as the Commodore 64 and Tandy CoCo will also have emulations available under Freedows.” The enthusiastic project ended splitting up into two factions, the other became Alliance OS With use of the AI-assisted reverse engineering framework, time has come for a second round, even ReactOS can finally get out of its Alpha status. |

I actually have tried out React OS, and liked it, even if it didn’t prove to be stable enough for daily use. AI can at some point begin to really take sledgehammer at a lot of hard-to-finish projects like those for sure  let’s hope it gets it improved enough to be useful. Sidd gave mixed reviews on how useful it proved as far as his specialized reverse engineering projects, and Lauland similarly has voiced less-than-positive feedback on AI for assistance with the programming projects he’s spearheaded here, so hearing that someone had greater success with System 7 and QEMU was truly refreshing!  let’s hope for more wins!
