Others have answered this pretty well. Microsoft Windows doesn't care about FreeDOS, so if you buy a server with FreeDOS on it (which is cool) and want to put Windows server on it instead, you will need to do a reinstall. That means you'll need a licensed full copy (not an upgrade) of Windows S

People hack services, not the operating system per-se. And in the case of FreeDOS, there are no services listening on the network. Sure, you can use FreeDOS to play multiplayer games (DOOM, etc.) on a network, and you can use FreeDOS and mTCP to make connections via telnet or whatever. Or FreeDOS
