Hahhaha, I can sniff a OS/2 zealot from a mile away.  Yup, you can run 
separate DOS sessions with specified or automatically allocated EMS, XMS, or 
DPMI memory, different environment size, configurable conventional memory 
amount, separate autoexec.bat and config.sys for each dos app.

Good thing is, you can leave everything on auto and you don't have to screw 
around with a zillion ambiguous dos session settings like warped.

There is an idiot proof dialogue to set up support for: mouse, disk cache, 
doskey, expanded memory manager, and direct disk access for each dos session. 
 Just click on the choices.  For any other devices, it's simple to add the 
lines into your custom config.

It's really cool to be able to run DOS games in a window and stuff, although 
I prefer to switch to full-screen with a quick alt-enter.  The really cool 
stuff, though, is gonna be the crop of new games optimized for Win95 using 
the WING libraries.  I really couldn't live without the backward 
compatibility offered by Win95 for both Windows apps and dos apps (read: 
games ;) and I'd guess that most gamers would feel the same way.
