With the rising cost of PC hardware, and modern PC software's inability to cope with fewer hardware resources, the top software picks of 2027 are shaping up to be:
* WordPerfect and WordStar
* Lotus 1-2-3 and Quattro Pro
* dBase III
* Harvard Graphics
* CorelDraw
* Paint Shop Pro
* Ability Office and Lotus SmartSuite
* RetroZilla
* Oregon Trail
* Doom
* Sim City
* SkiFree

@crowbriarhexe FreeDOS comes with WatTCP, mTCP, and the Crynwr driver collection, but the problem is the gamble of one of those drivers working compatibly with modern ethernet adapters and the certainty of none of them working with modern wifi adapters.
@arielmt wait, an NE2000 isn’t modern?! 😳😂
Oh, how could I forget the most important top software picks for 2027?
* Microsoft Windows 7
* Microsoft Windows 98SE
* Microsoft DOS 6.22
* IBM PC-DOS 7.0
* FreeDOS 1.4

In all seriousness, FreeDOS 1.2 or 1.3 is preinstalled on some HP PCs, but somewhere between likely and certainly without a compatible TCP/IP packet driver.
