Not that I'm pretending to know anything aboiut w2k, but does anyone
HONESTLY think they wont let you _RUN_ dos programs?  I mean come on... If
they did that, then they would scratch at LEAST 50% or more of their sales
due to companies and such not being able to run their old DOS programs for
what-ever.  I know MANY companies that use OLD spreadsheet programs (to
side-step retraining of course), and the resturaunt that I work at (a
Sodexho-Marriot service) uses some insanely old DOS program for most of
their local accounting records, personel info, etc...  Even if they cut the
DOS interface, DOS programs will almost undoubtedly still be runable.
