All in all, this was a very fun project to do, as Windows/386 was really lacking the kind of in-depth analysis that its successors got. I hope to update the project in the future, as well as maybe pivot to something like OS/2.

I love this, great work. Might have more to say once I'm through reading it.

OS/2 would be amazing

I read it about halfway through before the kiddos started screaming. Overall very good.

One nitpick: maybe provide just a bit more detail regarding how your/your friend came to some of the conclusions. It isn't because I don't believe anything, however I'm just an old timer (somewhat, elder millennial) who likes to know how things work/how you guys game to the conclusions you did. Not a full rundown, obviously, however I did see quite a few assumptions that were only partially explained. Seems to be a good read, however, and I'll finish it tomorrow.
