i used msdos 6.22 for a long time but my pick is msdos 7.1 from win9x (except early version of win95) because of its fat32 and xms 3.0 support. fat32 allows drive partitions greater than 2gb and xms3 allows the usage of more than 64mb installed ram.
i don't see how msdos 7.10 became incompatible with DOS games, when in fact, there were games for win9x that were actually dos games.
freedos has excellent dos utilities but the kernel is still a bit dodgy for games.
