FreeDOS is making some nice strides. Always good to see. Hopefully it will make MS-DOS completely obsolete some day.

I only noticed in the comments after posting this that the new release of FreeDOS doesn't actually have the newer kernel they'd been working on (it was released in the master branch a couple days before the video was released), so the test unfortunately doesn't show anything new compared to the previous version since it's using the same Kernel as 1.3. Hopefully the newer kernel addresses some of those remaining issues :)
Nice, they tested The 11th Hour, no 7th Guest though
