Heh -- I'm sure M$ has a monopoly on something, but it certainly
isn't "user-friendly..." Even if you define user-friendly as
"acting just like windows," there are a few other things around,
regrettably, that do that these days.

That aside, though, have you tried Wine recently? It's coming
along nicely, and DOSEMU looks a lot like DOS to me.

Did you mean to single DOS out as being "user-friendly?" I ask
because it doesn't strike me as exceptionally so...
