Ahem...
Windows NT 3.51, 4, 5 (aka. "Windows 2000") don't run on top of DOS.
Windows 95, OSR2, OSR2.5, 98, 98SE and ME (I don't know if there's a MESE
yet) run on top of DOS.

So Microsoft never hid DOS in NT, they just didn't implement it together
with IBM in OS/2 (or NT if you prefer the Microsoft OS/2 version <G>).
But AFAIK they did there best to hide it in WinME.
