Of course I have multiboot but it's not such comfortable to reboot as just run a commandline. And when need a true multitasking. I also use Win98SE which is quite good DOS multitasker with a GUI :) They run much more DOS apps compared to restrictive NTVDM (of course for worse security and stability but I can take this risk). But some apps don't run under Win98SE so I need also WinXP and also NTVDM. Fortunately I don't need to use any Vista-only prog yet.

It's not perfect but faster than emulators and if you don't touch HW much it let your DOS progs live. AFAIK MS didn't opened sources to NTVDM so modifying it's code would be difficult so rather VDDs are made.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
