Parent article: DOSEMU reaches version 1.4.0

DOSEMU saved my butt for years before it reached 1.0 (specifically, dosemu-0.64.3, then 0.98.4 and 0.99.10). It allowed me to move a small, local business off of the monopoly. The only "app" they couldn't do without that had no native Linux equivalent was Reflex 2.0. The people who depended on it were tickled to see their familiar screen and data pop up with a single-click, special button on their custom desktops. DOSEMU made the transition possible, painless and made the advantages immediately apparent. Bart Oldeman, Hans Lermen and the previous dosemu maintainers saved immeasurable frustration for those folks over the course of 8 years.
