Re: [Freedos-user] freedos on hp computers?

Most of HP's work is writting code for inside printers, etc. Most likely machine code which is closer to being dos than WINDOWS. If a newbee can't handle dos he's probably not worth keeping. Alot of companies hire 100 newbees but really only plan to keep 50. I wouldn't be suprised if some of the

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos on hp computers?

The tablets I buy work for awhile then fail. Each new tablet with a newer Android version works very well for awhile. The world changes and you need a newer version to accept those changes. I'm up to version 7 which has been working for quite awhile now. It might be the last one - I hope. Its

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos on hp computers?

Personally I find DOS very useful. The main drawback is the lack of software being produced. New machines are amazing but the average little guy has few uses for so much power. Its good for the IRS, Ford, GM and other big guys but the average guy doesn't need so much power. 99.9% of a new

I've used ios (junked it), Android & Freedos. Freedos is not too far behind those two. Android is fine but is always being upgraded. I think I'm on my 10th tablet. They work for awhile but then soon need a upgrade - buy a new tablet time is about every 6 months so far.At least tablets are dirt

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos on hp computers?

HP's resources are so great that it would just be a tiny project for them. It would be nice to use an OS that actually works. It would move FREEDOS to the level of IOS or Android both highly used today. Although Android is alot better than IOS. I just did my USA taxes using dos QPRO macros. I've

Look at Ebay computers; they will say what OS is installed. I've seen Freedos a few times. DS On Tue, 20 Mar 2018 00:56:28 -0400 (EDT) Karen Lewellen writes: > Hi all, > I may have the name brand wrong. > Still I recall that freedos ships installed on some models of

Yes, HP is one of the computer manufacturers that includes FreeDOS in their standard builds. If you go into their laptops and desktops, and search for FreeDOS, you'll get a list of devices that can be configured with FreeDOS as the default operating system. For example: HP ProDesk 600 G3
