but it can run linux, even with graphical interface.
My 25 year old BMW still runs perfectly, so why can an old computer not run nowadays? That seems to be the union of intel and microsoft to make everything obsolete.
But I have to confess that win 7 works better then Dos 3, and my old 8086 would not run any meaningful operating system any more. Actually, maybe it would run rudimentary linux.
And of course, you could leave your Dos 3 on the old computer. The problem is that Microsoft itself does not provide compatibility to its own programs. I have a book written in Microsoft Word for Dos 4 or 5 or 6 and simply it can not be converted. And now they invented Docx format. They use cunning tricks so you MUST upgrade
Or in my case, I MUST install word for Dos 5 to be able to read the book
But returning to windows 7: after 25 years, finally Microsoft did something right.
