FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) — the drop-in, open source replacement for MS-DOS — was started after Microsoft announced that starting from Windows 95, DOS would play a background role at best for users. Almost two decades later, FreeDOS has survived and, as its creator explains in this interview, is still being actively developed (http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/452826/developer_interview_dos_long_dead_long_live_freedo s/), despite achieving its initial aim of an MS-DOS compatible OS, which quite frankly is somewhat amazing.
