Do you mean Windows XP's implementation of Dos? I can't really tell because I still need to run SETUP.EXE, and that program definatly doesn't work with XP. If you mean if I can run it under Dos without problem, then yes - I do have some computers around that still run Dos. (Technically, Windows 95 is installed on the comptuer, but I found a way to prevent it from automatically loading.)
