I wonder if FreeDOS has anyl relevance in our modern cloud-based VM world, where a real-mode operating system could serve as a razor thin wrapper for running applications on virtual machines with minimum overhead.

In these scenarios, having another layer of memory protection and pre-emptive multi-process multitasking might be completely unnecessary.
