@dosnostalgic @kly Fascinating, actually.

Lil' oversight, doesn't actually change the OS's experience. But still cool to learn about.

@dosnostalgic @kly Well paint me purple and call me "Twilight", it actually works.

The process goes:
Load Windows -> Exit to DOS mode -> Load windows again -> Shut down -> When in the screen just do "cls"-enter and this happens

@dosnostalgic @kly PS this was a clean install. Or, cleanish. I did install the drivers needed to get sound/graphics properly out of 86box, cuz if I was setting this up, I might as well have it ready to screw around with some gaems.

@dosnostalgic @kly Bonus: If you type 'win' instead of 'cls' it goes back to windows.

@kly @dosnostalgic aaaand now you got me wanting to set up win9x on 86box just to try that

@dosnostalgic let's be fair: Windows wasn't letting you "boot into the legacy OS", it was just letting you quit out of the shell, because at the time, it was literally just a fancy GUI shell for DOS, and remained so (for home users, enterprise users got NT in the early 90s) until Windows XP
