I have Basic Programming knowledge ( with C# also know a bit of bash and
php)
I think i will be able to pick up on C pretty easily

Not sure what you mean by socketed but it looks exactly the same as

Don't Use x64 much anymore hate the whole "restart for settings to take
affect"
I assume it will work as it basicly is the same as winxp but has 64bit
binaries and doesn't use any BIOS calls and it does boot from grub

I would have thought that FreeDOS used alot of BIOS calls as it seams to
work "as is" with out any drivers (based off the fact that it runs off a
floppy) and by the way FreeDOS is 16bit and it runs on my computer just
doesn't pick up extended partitions
also since win9x is based off MS-DOS I would have thought that's why it
uses BIOS calls
