>>> ""screenshot" is taken from my own forum"

YES :-D

Please note also the unreadable text (thanks JPEG) and the cool
"Desktop" background image :-D

>>> "DESKWORK absolutely does NOT require Windows in any way, but it needs DOS from version 5.0 or newer, be it M$DOS or DRDOS, or if you like even FreeDOS."

Thanks for clarifying.

>>> "some 14 year old moron who doesn't know what DOS is"

OK, but maybe the DW team is not 100% innocent in those shots either ...
considering the amount of "Windows" advertising in the "official"
DW docs ... the "mormon" might have thought like "OK, Windows is
supported, I have XP, it is newer and better, it MUST work"

It would possibly be a good idea to:

- Remove or reduce the "Windows" advertising
- Implement a check for such fully "virtualized" environments like NTVDM and
refuse to start there - or is DW supposed to work inside 3.11-based
"DOS"-boxes ?

>>> "personally rely on Windows 3.11 for my own work (image editing"

DOS lacks a good Paint, DW seems also :-(

Then the text represents personal preferences with "Windows" and is
not related to DW at all :-D
