> Will Windows 97 support DPMI 1.0?

Given MS's hostility towards DOS, almost certainly not.  We can't even get
them to fix the bugs in DPMI 0.9 in their products.  When asked about getting
bug fixes - they said port to Win 32.  If anything, I would not be surprised
to see DPMI more broken in the next release just to encourage migration.
That's what's been happening in NT.
