I remember using it on my old 1230/50 with lots of RAM and being impressed.

But seeing DSx86 on NDS is so fast (and includes full sound: midi + sound effects) I'm not so impressed... And the NDS only has 4Mb memory...

PCTask is more complete, emulating a full 486 + co processor, but it's really slow...

it is a graphical shell for MS-DOS
The fact it runs on top of MS/DOS doesn't mean it isn't an OS.

Windows provides a base for applications, and manages the hardware (and bypasses the DOS for a lot of hardware). It is enough for it to be an OS. But this has nothing to do with the subject...
