Screenshots from FreeDOS 1.2

I hope you've had a chance to download the new FreeDOS 1.2 distribution. I am very excited for the new release. I hope you enjoy it!

If you are new to FreeDOS, I wanted to share a few screenshots of some applications running on FreeDOS 1.2. All screenshots captured by me with FreeDOS 1.2 running in the GNOME Boxes PC emulator (which is really QEMU).
