Sorry for this offtopic babbling but,

I should think Msoft will make it even easier to allow a dual OS
bootable setup.
I don't think games companies will want most of their back catalogue
trashing.
I think users will want/demand backwards compatibility, there's an awful
lot of people with Dos based software, Duke3D and other games.

And somebody somewhere will release a patcher program thingummybob to
allow Dos programs to be run.

Dos itself will fit onto one single floppy, so it should be possible to
put a folder "Dos" in your root and boot into that OS.

BTW didn't they said Win95 wouldn't have Dos too?? ;)
