- p0w3n3d 3y agoI was trying to hold ME back for as long as possible, and I managed to almost skip it. It was only hiding DOS (but still based on DOS) and not introducing much of a performance improvements (if any, maybe only on boot). Meanwhile I played a lot of DOS games (still) that were unplayable from windows (like Pinball Fantasies)
