I wish people would get this stuff right! Don't blame Microsoft for DOS, 
blame IBM - who picked the lame-ass Intel chip for their new PC (over 
Microsoft's advice) in the first place. Many of DOSs limitations actually 
stem from limitations in the Intel architecture.

Windows 95 is the DOS killer we've all been waiting for. As more games 
developers start writing for Win32, DOS (and Win16) will fade into 
history.
