DOS ain't dead

Hi,
I just found an interesting site (gurus here maybe already knows it) about windows kernel and there are also described some undocummented functions. E.g. I wonder that WinVista+ have BIOS emulator that allow you to make BIOS call and get/put some data to/from 16bit world. I'm not sure but seems it even works on 64bit OS. Maybe it would be usefull for some VDD enhancement for DOS progs under NTVDM.
