I like to add that the Howto about VirtualBox I wrote in January into our wiki has now been viewed more than 40.000 times. (1) So in just four months more people have read it than most of the other howtos in our wiki over the last years. For instance my DOS Networking Howto (table of contents page) just got 33.000 views in four years although this was much more work for me. So you are right, more than anything else, people use FreeDOS in virtual machines. regards Ulrich (1) http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Special:PopularPages ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
