     @normandy @tk tbh it kind of did more than that, with time, to the point of being an extension of DOS.

     @normandy @roka Interestingly, Windows up to 3 did run on DR-DOS, though Microsoft tried to prevent that.

     @roka @tk I mean it is more comparable to say a Wayland compositor since it also included the display server parts as well
