Anyone who knows anything about assembly knows that any operating system which takes several hundred megabytes to load is a kludge.
I've long been astonished that no one has done this before.
Does it implement any of the Microsoft function calls, or does it have replacements for them?

Since it is a different OS, I would guess “no”. I also see no reference to needed .dll files in the article, although it does mention that it doesn’t require a special graphics card API to function properly.

It’s a neat project, but impractical and kind of dumb for modern hardware.

Where do you get “several hundred megabytes”? The article says that it can load from a floppy disk. The largest of those IIRC was the 1.44 meg 3.5” floppy.
