So go and buy it already
Why can't you buy whatever OS you want now?? Just go to some old swap meet or PC show, and I guarantee you can get any flavor DOS, Windows, Unix, APPLE OS, GEOS, LAZERBASIC, whatever you want. Heck, check out EBAY and go pay $500 for a "mint, hardly used" Amiga 4000 if you want.

Thanks for the FUD, and have a nice FUD day.
