That is nice at least. But the rules are very restrictive for such an old piece of software few people care about.

Why did you add the sunglasses ?
Also, that's true. But the way they put it sounds like "we released the source, you can take a look at it but if you change the smallest byte, it's ours". So there's no use for that.

Un-less they are trying to simply see what happens, when they release this. Such as looking at how many people download, how many post, and how many make something.
If I was to use this an make an OS, lets say for an old x86, then only I could use because no one wants a command prompt gui.
Take note that the source for 1.1, and the source for 2.0 is 60% smaller. They added a lot!

They still distribute dos, but not windows xp

They still do, for embedded systems only. The "user" version has been discontinued.

Yeah, it's still pretty useful for single-application computers such as cash registers and such.

I have seen pictures of Chase ATMs still running Windows XP. The fact they put Windows on an ATM makes me much less secure about my money.

At Metro and Super C supermarket/grocery stores over here, the cash register softwares run on Windows XP as well. I think Maxi switched to the same software recently too, but I don't know if they also run XP. The funny thing is that Metro and Super C switched to that software around 2010 or so, so it's entirely possible that they started using XP in 2010 too.
