Sure dude, whatever.  You can be running DOS while every one else on the 
planet is using Win95 and playing native games like Falcon 4 and Ultima 9 
with the lightning fast performance that have a standard set of API's and 
not forcing game companies to write an entire set of graphics drivers (or 
relying on that painfully slow cross-compatiblity standard - VESA) will 
produce.

DOS is shit for games, it was never intended for the graphics intensive 
programs of today.  Having a new standard OS that even looks slightly to 
the future (or the present) is about the best thing that can happen to the 
computer gaming world.
