Because at this time, Windows must be able to let DOS programs running under it. Now, DOS written programs, are disapearing because everybody is turning to Windows95. In a couple of year, a new OS (or an update, thank Billou :-) ) will be released without any DOS. IT will be an OS exclusively in 32 bits, which will run faster and better because, it won't be compatible with 16 bit DOS.
