I am generally curious about the intention of not supporting other
operating systems.

My dream machine would be one that runs all existing software.  Of
course, it would be based on Unix, but would also run MsDos, MsWindows,
OS/2, Macintosh, Apple II, Amiga, VMS, and IBM mainframe software.

It sounds from the tone of certain messages that this is foreign to the
interests of the FSF. 

It certainly seems important to have a Dos emulator on 386 systems.

I welcome commentary, flames, etc.  -David-
