DRDOS licence is not approved by FSF (Free Souftware Foundation)
as open software licence. So I'm personally not interested in such a system.
I have to use DOS also in commercial environment. So FreeDOS is my choice.
Although DRDOS is a mature product and FreeDOS is still like a school child.

IMHO rather no, because hardware becomes more and more powerful and even 
on old Celereon 400 from 1999 and 128MB RAM I can use GUI with enough speed.

Exactly. None is best. I use FreeDOS i.e. for TeX documents as emTeX is 
smaller 
than teTeX; and Linux for some other tasks - especially network oriented:)
