I keep on hearing this but surely if it was any good it wouldn't need support.  >:D

To put it very simply, this is false  :bullshit:, though I've heard it countless times.
W95, 98 and ME only used DOS as bootloader (and to run old incompatible programs that needed direct resource access).

Now, that memory protection was really rudimentary  :palm: is a topic for another day...

If i were a maker of scopes with difficulties to fulfil buyers' expectations to get a bug free instrument, but i had to sell for income, my main concern would be how to get away with it.
Maybe i would give the buyer a free options packet, so whenever he wants to complain, i can reject his claims saying that the bad part of the firmware was a present.
And maybe i would invite him to do some bandwidth "hack" so i could reject even more claims, because i won't accept claims on hacked instruments.
And maybe i would offer my higher bandwidth instruments at salty prices to make sure nobody would buy them.

How does anyone expect Rigol to produce a serious multi-GSamples instrument for $ 1000, when everbody else needs to charge several times more? With their "innovative" methods they are just creating a lot of confusion.

The same way as Keysight is able to sell a serious full 2GSa/s (2 + 1 channels) for $350-$400?
