While I agree entirely, it seems that DOS/DPMI is being heavily deprecated by many people, including Microsoft. XP works okay, but Win2k3 (DPMI limit unfixed and yet "no more service packs") and Vista (many "new" NTVDM bugs) do not work acceptably at all. Win7 will be out in less than a month, and it's NT 6.1 (vs. Vista's 6.0), so I expect nothing to change.
