Not quite: it accesses the mouse in a way that XP doesn't like. Unlike
the original .exes, however, sound will work and you can run it as high
as 640x480.

I'll second prboom, though; it resembles the original .exes to the point
where it can play most demos recorded for them. It also has high
resolution and all of the enhancements contained in Boom.

There's also Chocolate Doom, which is fairly recent and seeks to
reproduce the behaviour of the .exes as closely as possible. It lacks
high-resolution modes, though. http://chocolate-doom.sf.net/
