   FreeDOS, which is an open-source DOS clone, and I am thinking of starting a   
   project called SodaOS, which is    
   a Windows 9x-like OS. I know that many people use FreeDOS, even though DOS is   
   dated, so that's how I got the idea to make SodaOS. I am looking for people to   
   help, including programmers, and I need someone to design boot screens and a   
   logo for SodaOS too.    
   I hope this project goes somewhere, and if you help, I thank you for that, and   
   bye.

   What is the purpose of the project? I tried ReactOS as a virtual PC with   
   VirtualBox and I liked the small size of the OS but had problems with   
   the drivers not being available. So any endevour you do you might want   
   to keep in mind to keep the drivers compatible with a more modern form   
   of Windows drivers so you won't lack on drivers.   
      
   I use DOS for working with some old projects I used in the past I used   
   DOSBox, but more often and older version of Windows in VirtualBox. One   
   thing I was reminded of when working with those old software projects   
   was how much simpler the programming was.   
      
   I would suggest that if you are going to have a project on an older OS   
   that Windows98 might be a better choice, it's quite similar to 95 but   
   has a lot of improvements without getting overly complicated.
