...'because they wanted to keep supporting all that old DOS software'...

Does this mean Windows XP does not allow for the usage of any DOS hardware? I currently use Windows 95 and am looking to get a better computer (this one is the last Packard Bell anything that enters my portals). I have several programs in DOS....mainly my Accounting package....I don't want to give it up.

Some DOS programs might work if they have compatible PIFs. Best thing to do is go to Microsoft's website and run the compatibility test. They will tell you what hardware/software on your system is incompatible.
