 True! An OS that cannot DOS Doom is total crap!! It is really pitiful to
 buy a supposedly state-of-the-art OS and find out later that it cannot
 run one of the most popular games in the world! I wouldn't want it even
 if it is given to me free along with U$1000.00 as incentive!!! BTW, I
 heard OS/2 cannot run DOS Doom too.

 Wait! May be it is completely ID's fault who intentionally screw up
 the code so that it cannot run on a state-of-the-art OS. Hey! May be
 it is this "Doom ain't done until NT and another OS won't run"
 conspiracy that I keep hearing about!
