This is indeed joyfull news. We worked long and hard to make this day happen. So I'd would like to thank everybody who was involved. I think you would agree that it supercedes everybody's wildest imagination of what FreeDOS should have become. I realy hope this project can survive this

FYI: I have updated the FreeDOS web site with the 1.0 announcement. A few pages have changed: - the front page has been rearranged, and should now be friendlier to new users. Let me know if the navigation is confusing; I tried to make it so new users would know where to go, but still useful
