Hehe, there was discovered many several security vulnerabilities in NTVDM code during last years (some exists only on Vista and newer) and the easiest way to fix them is to disable some functions or kick out NTVDM at all...
BTW in Windows 8 is NTVDM disabled by default and when you run a DOS program 1st time it asks you to allow install and enable NTVDM. It's preparation for final termination

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
