That is what I thought. Haha!

Also, wasn't it back in the day people did the fastest initial ritual of using DOS for installing a whole big Win/*nix OS much like internet explorer for Chrome? Hilarious imagining DOS being the host for Linux programs.

There also used to be a project called LINE, which is to Windows what WINE is to Linux -- in other words it let you run Linux binaries on Windows
