   No, DOS is dead because there are better OSes - cheaper, and more
powerful. You can run Linux on 386SX with 8 megagbytes of RAM, and having
enough swap space you can run Python in full 32bit mode (native to Linux)
without DOS Extender at all.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
