Well, that was a constructive comment if ever I read one.

To the guy who asked the question in the first place: sort of.  You can
specify different memory configurations.  But you can't, for example,
have a different set of device drivers loaded, or use a different
autoexec.bat (OK, so you can fake it by calling a batch-file to setup
any command-line callable drivers and setting environment variables).

Win95's DOS support is adequate.  It isn't as flexible as OS/2's, but it
works.  DOS support isn't something you can really legitimately pick on
Win95 over - try stability and multitasking...  :-)
